but I say it's perfectly okay to give yourself hearts. I would, if I had any money.

Years ago, my barber gave me some sage advice and told me you have to pat yourself on the back because no one else will

But it did not prime the pump as I had hoped, so I am saving my last one, and may have to give that one to me, too!

Love grows, wherever you plant it.

I gave a bunch to a few people whose content I enjoy.

I gave a bunch to people who didn't have any, to prime their pump.

I have a few more and might buy some more just to give to those without.

I even got around to getting an avatar - Cesar Chavez. I had the honor to make some posters for a couple of his marches back in the day.

Then giving one to yourself could be the opposite and actually a sign of a strong sense of self worth.

Two may be narcissistic.

makes me feel like I’m back in middle school and definitely not one of the cool kids!

I haven’t given myself hearts ever but I see how it’s tempting! I give hearts to those who don’t have any. So today, twenty posters with no hearts got a heart from me ❤️
