2014 Scrapbook
So now, I don’t negotiate with insecurities / They’re gonna have to take a backseat / I know I have to love myself the way I want you to … love me / No more second guessing / No there’s no more questioning / I’ll be the one defining who I’m gonna be / No concealing feelings or changing seasonally / I’m gonna love myself the way I want you to … love me - Katy Perry, "Love Me"
