Self Love:knowing what you want in a relationship

I believe so many women settle when it comes to relationships, I know because I see it all the time and i myself have in the past been guilty of this unbalanced out of control relationships. I have to say how this started just like so many women lack of love for myself I gave and gave but this powerful love was not returned. But i settled because I believed i would never find a real love of my own,it seem love was out there but it just didn't want me, I believe Love is the most powerful force on this earth I would try to express this to the men I loved but it was never open their hearts to what i was saying or trying to give my heart, my soul,I mean giving all that i am, So when my season for change came I made a decision to give that Love i wanted from a man to myself,now I can look at myself in the mirror and say Racquel Victoria Singleton I LOVE YOU, and it does not sound strange or a lie. My fellow QUEENS if you are in a relationship were you know you're giving and giving and praying that he will do the same one day look in the mirror like i did and say I love you to the one that deserves to hear and feel it you.
