Self-Love

Self-love is a big deal, it's something people don't usually talk about. It's a subject that people are kind of touchy about. People need to ask themselves, what does self-love mean to them? Or how do you define self-love?

"To fall in love with yourself is the first secret to happiness." - Robert Morley

The people in the world today have little care about other's opinions and feelings, so they couldn't care about throwing out insults or being rude. All they care about is being better than everyone else and making sure they feel good about themselves.

"You are a light that cannot darken. You are a soul that shines through. You are eternal amid the moment. You are awakening. You are love." - Creig Crippen

Most girls today want to cake their faces with makeup, impress guys, and be popular. Most guys want to play sports, get a girlfriend, and mess around. When they should be getting good grades, dressing appropriately, having friends, being nice to others, and being themselves, NOT FAKE.

"Perhaps, we should love ourselves so fiercely, that when others see us they know how it should be done." - Rudy Francisco

People don't need to be happy with the world's standards, you need to be yourself. If people are all the same then the world would all be boring. Each person was made to be unique, different, and to be themselves. Remember when I said the question, how do you define self-love? Well the world and people around us don't define the word self-love, it means something different to everybody.

"The universe took its time on you, crafted you precisely, so you could offer something distinct from everyone else. So when you doubt how you were created, you doubt an energy greater than us both." - Rupi Kaur

It doesn't matter if you are straight, LGBTQ+, skinny, curvy, tall, short, loud, or quiet. You can be anything you want and love yourself no matter what. That's what I think the big issue is with this world, everyone has this little voice in their head telling them and making them think that they have something wrong with them. That they have are ugly, fat, too loud, and things like that.

"Never underestimate the importance of self-love. It is like a magnet that draws people to you." - Toni Payne

Self-love relates to the word, beautiful. Beautiful doesn't mean that you look good and are pretty. It means that you aren't just good looking, you are good in your heart too. Most people today don't think they are beautiful because they don't look good or because they don't fit in.

"Don't forget to fall in love with yourself first." - Carrie Bradshaw

Fitting in doesn't mean that you are popular with people and you are liked by everyone. Fitting in should mean that you have good grades, your liked by good people, and that you are friends with other people who are good-hearted, honest, and nice. There isn’t a scale of who's the most popular and who is at the bottom. That scale doesn’t exist, but a lot of self-conscious people who think it does, and that’s a really big issue.

"You alone are enough. You have nothing to prove to anyone." - Maya Angelou

To be beautiful is to be yourself. To be yourself is not to be accepted by others, but to be accepted by yourself. Remember, self-love is important, and remember...

"It ain't what they call you, it's what you answer to." - W.C. Fields

You. Are. Beautiful. Don’t ever forget that, ever.
