Self-love is not selfish; you cannot truly love another until you know how to love yourself.
You know in this bitter world of ours, we are judged by our looks, whether you are skinny or thick, beautiful or ugly, rich or poor, tall or short, and many more. You all know that this is the most crucial part of course, and many teenagers go through this. Many teenagers end up getting depression and anxiety from these judgemental choices made by people. Didn’t they also face the situation that today’s teenagers are facing in their teenage life? Didn’t they also go into depression by the things they are doing to other teenage girls?
Firstly, for me, this thing doesn’t matter because you ought to love yourself and care for yourself more than others. People say it is difficult to put yourself first than others but why don’t you try it? Then, you know how easy and comfortable it is for you? I love myself, my inner heart, my personality, my body, my face, my voice, my hair and each and every part of my body then why can’t you? People say me mean things like you are ugly, don’t have a perfect body, don’t have a beautiful face, don’t have a beautiful voice, and many other things but I don’t care about it. I learned to love myself , each and every aspect of me. I believe in myself that I would be great being wise and bold as I am. I have faith in myself that I can do my best in everything. I like to take care of myself with many things like skincare day, eating a healthy meal, going for a walk, drinking healthy juice, and water. This is what I call loving yourself as self -love and it is one of the great virtues for your live. Loving yourself means keeping yourself first than prioritizing others at first. Loving yourself means loving every part of your body and yourself because no one is perfect in this world, not even me right? People often forget that beauty is subjective, what is beautiful to you might not be the same for others.
You ought to love yourself, take a self-care day, a relaxation day, a productive day in your life. It helps a lot in improving the version of you. Love your body, your face, your voice, maybe there is someone starving even to get that, you understand? Be yourself around others because you don’t deserve to be duplicate, you want to be original, right?
