There is a common trend going around that we need to love ourselves.

While that is completely true, there's been a huge misconception of the message behind this trend.

Instead of loving ourselves in context of nurture and growth, we are loving our prides and egos and intoxicating our relationships with others.

Self-love does not mean validating the parts of you that are toxic in terms of saying "This is me and there's nothing I or you can do about it."

Self love means working on yourself to become someone you love.

It is to cleanse yourself of the things that make you dislike yourself.

Self-love is not forceful acceptance.

Self-love is finding yourself.

It is a process of growth.
