Flaws play a purpose. When working on returning to self-love, you’re going to have to learn to embrace your flaws. Now when I was younger, I had a speech impediment. I couldn’t say my M’s or my N’s or my T’s or my D’s. I was literally tongue-tied. Which means I didn’t read very well in school either.
