"I did that for a long time and I couldn't understand why things weren't working. Then I realized that I wasn't valuing myself in the way that I deserved.

"You accept things that are less than what you want, and then you wonder why you find yourself in these situations. You think, 'I wouldn't treat anyone in this way so why am I being treated like this?''
