When Loving You Is a Foreign Language!

Did you know it takes about six to nine months to learn one of the easiest languages if you practice thirty to sixty minutes a day?

And for the ones considered harder, it can take two to three years to become fluent.

So what happens when it’s not Spanish or French you’re trying to learn, but yourself?

What happens when self-love is the language you can’t quite pronounce right?

When affirmations feel awkward on your tongue, and grace feels like a word you’ve never spoken before?

The truth is, you can’t expect to master the language of love overnight.

You can’t expect years of brokenness, comparison, or neglect to disappear after one “I am enough.”

Self-love, like any language, must be practiced daily.

You have to immerse yourself in it.

Surround yourself with people who speak it fluently, those who remind you of your worth.

You have to stumble through your sentences, mispronounce your confidence, and keep trying anyway.

And over time, the same words that once felt foreign begin to sound familiar.

They begin to sound like home.
