Cliche, but I agree to what a lot of people believe and say that one should "Love yourself first" The question is how can we love ourselves? Loving yourself isn't about uploading photos in social media, eating in expensive restaurants and wearing trendy outfits or accessories in order to please your followers. It's not about pretending to be someone you're not when hanging out with friends. It's not about building insecurities and making decisions base on what everyone is doing. In fact, loving yourself has nothing to do with anyone else at all. It has to do with you alone. Loving yourself means you have the highest respect for yourself-meaning you recognize and appreciate what you have, you know who you are and who you want to be. When you love yourself, you care enough about the person you are, say no to things that could possibly have negative effects on your life -it means you think about the outcomes of your decision and not being impulsive. Loving yourself means you have the dauntleness to be unique and to be "you" not some duplicate of the fashion models on the cover of a magazine or your favorite celebrities-it means you won't change yourself in order to meet the standard that has been set by society. Most of all, loving yourself means knowing how precious and valuable you are and falling in love with one person who matters most-You! #selflove #knowyourworth
