Time and time again, here on SayingImages.com, we’ve advocated for things we firmly believe in like loving yourself, how you matter, and how you deserve better.
Today, we have another gem for you. That’s the fact that you should be Number 1. You shouldn’t be somebody’s back-up plan or second option. You deserve to be somebody’s One and Only.
