Love yourself

What was your this year's resolution? Learn to cook, read more books, get a better job, be a pilot, not to gain weight, learn photography, or better yet be a good person? But have you ever had a goal of loving yourself? Let me guess maybe no, because we are our own critic…. We hate ourselves for our flaws, our mistakes, our fears, etc. So let's start on the journey to love yourself first.

We all have that one friend in our life whom we love more than our self but have you ever considered being that friend for yourself? Not any other person but you?

There are many people who come and go some stay for longer time, we get attached to the people who stay longer and we end up getting hurt. We always depend on others to support us. Yes, we do need people to be there for us, to believe in us, to fight for us and most of our close people have been there for us, believed in us, but not fought for us. We were the only ones who were fighting for our self they just had our back, supported you.

Now I understand what my friend told me when I gave him a situation: what would you do if I were in some trouble? Would you help me out of it? And his answer to my question was: I would not help you but I would be there supporting you when you stumble or fall because I believe you have the strength to do things on your own. I do think the situations we face are just made for us otherwise they won't be there in our life, they are just making us stronger day by day, giving us life lessons, giving us reasons to struggle.

These experiences, mistakes, flaws, scars, fears, and other things which we hide from people thinking that in some way they will love us more, not knowing who we are only loving the mirage we created for them. Share your flaws, those scars which define who we are in this world, what all we faced to be there to be standing before them, and before you do all these you should accept it yourself.

Many people encourage you to live a better life or some people who don't even think they are influencing your life but help you anyway without knowing.

I being an introvert I always selected people you would be there around me. And I got a friend or rather a part of my missing soul (no I am not joking because we have the same interests, same thinking, same views, same personality) who somewhat introduced me to the world of k-pop, and k-drama's and mainly the boy band named BTS.

BTS songs always had meaning behind them and one of the reasons why I like them is because they are being themselves and still getting all the love from Army's and of course the promote the love yourself first concept. They just make you feel yourself more.

Loving yourself and giving yourself priority doesn't mean you are selfish it is just that you are more important for you than anyone else. Being this way doesn't mean you should ignore others cause sometimes listening to someone can also cause you to reflect on your ideas. Just be on your path of improving and being a better version of yourself daily.

I already am on a journey to love myself and it is quite difficult when you know that whatever you do you have to please yourself first and think about yourself first rather than any other person.
