♥︎ path to self-love

There's a time in our lives, a stage where we feel kind of strange. You might not like it, the feeling is anxious, weird, everything. You are finding yourself, your own purpose, asking who you really are.

Trust me, i still don't know who i really am.

It takes time and you usually feel exhausted just thinking of it. But you are starting to find your identity.

It's obviously hard, tiring, etc.

And usually, we get frustrated because there is this thing called self-love. Basically
' loving yourself ', ' accepting yourself '. Here's a little thing to know, self-love isn't easy. It takes time.

The things that usually block our way to loving ourselves is our flaws, the negative vibe from everyone else, constantly comparing yourself to everyone else.

Comparing is common, and you usually get envious when you see someone you think is better than you. You get envious and probably wish to be like them.

You see them so pretty, smart, flawless, free, all of the above and you just wish to be like them. You start to critic yourself, wondering what the hell is wrong with you.

We are our own biggest critic.

Of course, most people want to be perfect and loved by everyone else. To be accepted as a human being.

But let me tell you, the society is plain toxic. Literally everyone judges you for being you. If everyone wants the world to be peaceful, no hate, no judgement, no bullying then why don't they start with themselves. Start change within you.

I'm gonna be honest, I absolutely...HATE it when a teacher asks you to make an essay about self-love or they ask you to write down the things you hate about yourself and then ask you to read it out LOUD.

Honestly, these are private stuff and during this kind of age, a lot of stuff happens and we feel so insecure.

A lot of kids can write down a full essay, back to back on what they hate about themselves. Some can breakdown and cry in front of others and it is not comfortable because there is a high chance they'd mock you and we don't like that. And what? The teachers act like they care with an ' I'm sorry, aight NEXT! '. Pfft, no-

I'm not saying we can't focus on the things we dislike about ourselves. They are a part of us. The thing is, I just find it...uncomfortable to be sharing it in front of the whole class while you try not to breakdown.

It's actually important to know your imperfections since it could help with your path to loving yourself.

Here is a question you can answer, you don't have to answer it here though, you can keep it to yourself because you will be reflecting on yourself. And you don't have to answer it if you aren't ready. I totally understand.

| |  Why do you dislike yourself? How do you    feel about it?

Listen to yourself and try to understand. You can stare up the ceiling with some chill beats playing from your phone. You can meditate, write down your feelings, whatever helps you.

And just a reminder, it's okay to cry<3

Try to take care of yourselves too. If we spend more time hating ourselves, we adopt a more negative vibe to ourselves.
