   “It doesn’t mean that everyone will treat you the way you deserve to be treated. It means that you won’t let them change how you perceive yourself; nor will you stick around them to destroy you...!”

LOVING YOURSELF. What does loving oneself really mean?

Before knowing how to love yourself, one should be familiar with the meaning of self-love.

what is self-love? is it necessary? is it just pampering oneself? can I love myself? how? -and many more question comes to our mind when we hear the term self-love.  

Here, is the thing that what you make of yourself reflects how others perceive your existence. So, there should be no hesitation to give yourself some quality time. 

SELF - LOVE (one of the key element to boost you're well- being)

First,  let's try to understand what is self-love. Self-love is a combination of unconditional love and acceptance of one's true self. 

For many of us, we need to learn how to conquer our inner demons. For that, we first have to accept the reality of what we face. Accept yourself at every level: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual level. Just don't try to give yourself false hope about your real identity. Accept what you have and make the best out of it.

There is a saying that those who know their own darkness and pain either can break through it and shine or else get dwelled by their own darkness and lose themselves. To be very honest, I also struggled in loving and accepting myself.  There was the moment when I was enjoying myself with my friends and then there were those moments when I hardly spoke to them and ignore them. Now I realized it was not them who made me feel left out it was me who doubted my own self-worth. No one wants to stay with a person who is not joyful and pleased with their own existence. Before anyone could make me feel inferior, I had already made a negative image about my own existence. This feeling of not being enough and comparing oneself to others was the major block in loving myself. Although I also had those moments where I felt loved, those do not change my thoughts and it made the burden on my shoulder heavier. I took the love of people as the sympathy towards myself and my condition, which made my situation worse. A healthy mind makes a healthy body as the saying I got the affection and attention but it was worthless until I accept that I deserved it. I felt frustrated and pitter when I try to remember how I was consumed by my own darkness.

Did I make it? how did I ! have I found a solution to my thoughts and a bit of darkness, I had? no, not totally but yeah despite all the grueling process I had to go through to become who I am now. I always reminded myself that " maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow - but you will get there one day" this one line gave me the courage to stand up on my knees again and gave me the power to not give up until you have it all.

I am still working on myself. Just walking into the unknown. Taking every experience of my life as bliss.

I hope this will make you think about the importance of self-love.
