Happy new year! <3
New Year's resolution. We've all heard of that. We write our goals, good practices, undesired trait we wish to change, or even ways to improve our lives.
I've never accomplished any of my goals for the previous years. Now, I asked myself why.
The goals I wrote were basically about trying new things, how come I wasn't able to accomplish any of those? Here's why.
I realized how easy it is to do favors for other people, but not for ourselves.
Self love. We see those two words in our phone screens, we hear those from the people we look up to, we say that to our friends, we act like we know what it actually meant.
Try to search what self love means. There you have its definition.
But since it refers to "having a high regard for your own well-being", does it mean you get to define what self love actually is?
For me, yes.
My definition of self love is simple.
It's when I protect my peace, I trust myself, I become patient with myself, I fulfill the things I promised myself... It's about making myself a priority.
How can we demand things like these from other people when we couldn't give it to ourselves?
We've been searching for love in the wrong places when we already have it within ourselves.
If I learn to truly love myself, I will be able to accomplish my New Year's resolution. By that time, I'll learn that the promises I made for myself is just as important as the ones I made for someone else.
