What How to Love Me helps you remember is that you already are valuable. You already are valued. You already are loved and you have instant and constant access to that feeling of being loved we all so fervently seek.Your relationship with yourself is your only relationship. All other relationships reflect it. The checker at the market other drivers in traffic government officials your parents and your crush are all behaving according to your vibrational energy. The people in your life can only ever act according to your expectations and the emotions that come along with those expectations.When you choose to love yourself you are emitting a frequency of “I am loved” whereas when you pine for the validation of another you are emitting a frequency that says “I am not loved. I don’t have it and I need it.” And whatever signal you emit is how the universe—including other people—reacts. When you feel that you are loved you attract love. When you need love from another you push it away.

Portland’s most colorful, authentic, and empowering publishing house and distributor, Microcosm Publishing equips readers to make positive changes in their lives and in the world around them. Microcosm emphasizes skill-building, showing hidden histories, and fostering creativity through challenging conventional publishing wisdom with books and zines about DIY skills, food, bicycling, gender, self-care, and social justice.Microcosm has lived in milk crates, in closets, in a mud room, in a windowless basement, in a church, and under a desk at a major credit card company. We’ve brought our brightly colored books to infoshops, zine fests, media summits, bicycle conferences, parks, street corners, house shows, dirty bars, all­night coffeeshops, art museums, and every corner of the mainstream where we can clear away a little space to set up shop. We set out to save ourselves from not caring, but out there in the margins we’ve found communities worth always doing it better for. Now we have contracts instead of handshakes, a warehouse instead of a fanny pack full of zines. We have a staff, we have relationships in the industry that send our books to places we wouldn’t have dreamed we could walk into ourselves. We’re not as drunk or dirty as we used to be. But still, at heart, we’ve got this milk crate strapped to the back of a bike and we’re riding wildly across town to hand you the book that might just be the one that saves your life!
