25 Instagram Captions About Self-Love To Use After A Breakup
Getting broken up with is like getting your heart stomped on... by someone wearing spiked golf shoes... over hot coals. It's the kind of pain that even a hot yoga class followed by a fresh blowout can't fix. But the best way to heal after a breakup isn't mourning what you lost (and trying to fill that void with tacos and rom-coms) — it's reminding yourself of everything you have to offer the world now, exactly as you are. Posting a hot pic on the 'Gram can be a fun distraction from post-breakup blues, and I've got some suggestions for Instagram captions about self-love that will have you feeling good as hell in no time.
Self-pity comes easily to most people; self-confidence is often something you have to work for. Of course, social media isn't the best tool for boosting morale, but if you want to convince yourself that you'll be OK, sometimes it helps to convince others of this first. Forget weepy song lyrics and sad breakup quotes. If you really want to show the world how strong you are, an empowering caption will do the job even better than a sexy selfie. Self-love is the best kind of love, and these captions will help remind you just how much you're worth.
