Just my thoughts about self-love

There is, for all of us, a moment where we are lost, where we hate ourselves, where we want to hide, and to be someone else. I want to help people who are going through this period, I want to tell them that it's okay,that they are not alone and that we should try to help each other.

I feel like during that time, we have two sides : the first one is the "Me" that we hate, that we want to forget, the one that we want to hide and to erase. In a sense it's our "dark" side . The second one is the "Me" that wants to fit in our society's standards and who wants to be like everybody else. This side fights the other one, and tries to control it . But we have to understand that this dark side of us is a part of us so rather than fighting it, we should try to live in peace with it and to understanding it . In a way we should become one with both sides.

It's a long and hard journey toward our true self, the us in its entire form. Indeed, we have to embrace ourselves with our flaws,scars, imperfections, and uniqueness. At the end of it, we will be able to love ourselves and to live as a whole. We'll be able to reveal our singularity and true person .

"Standing in front of the mirror, someone was staring at me. Same eyes, same nose, same lips. However I wanted to erase that face. I wanted to see it disappear and to see someone else. But I realised that the person in the mirror was me. And that I'll always see the same face in this mirror. I understood that it was better to start liking it. "
