"...But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous." -Carrie Bradshaw
I've been thinking lately, that the best moral compass and the best measure of happiness is the quality of your relationship with yourself.
Some things are clearly wrong, but for the grayer day-to-day decisions, I always think "if I do this, will I be as comfortable with myself after?" When I'm alone in my head will I still like myself as much as I do now? Sometimes, you do something that goes against this, and makes you question who you are. The wonderful thing, though, is that unlike other relationships, the relationship with yourself will always be there, so no matter how damaged it becomes, you can always fix it.
Other people may be smarter, wealthier, prettier, but if I wake up every day only wanting to be myself, then that's a happy life :)
ab imo pectore, Hannah
