You Aren’t Alone

The Lack of Self Love, the Battles We Face, the Feeling of Being Alone

The first question you should always ask yourself.

Do you love yourself?

Why? You may ask.

I’ve been told once “how can you love someone when you don’t love yourself?”—as for me I felt insulted at first but never really took what was said to me seriously. It actually hurt to hear that from someone I loved. Yet, loving them more than I loved myself at the time is where one of my battles surfaced.

Self love can be the drive you need to have more passion in whatever you do, and how you do it. To always want better for yourself so you can make yourself proud. Making others proud in the process is just a bonus to achieving that self love. It makes you feel as if you are doing what you need to do for yourself. Also knowing how you are, and what you bring to the table of any event (A date, a interview, etc).

It’s okay to be selfish for self love okay! Whether it’s canceling time with poor decision making friends, going to the gym to better yourselves and your energy. Associating yourself with individuals who are great role models and company. Changing your job you are currently in if your unhappy. Changing the routine you were once in if you are losing motivation in yourself! Which is Key to Recognition. You must be mindful with yourself and your mood towards things that upset you or alter the way you feel in the wrong way.

You can always change the way you feel about the things you can control. You control the places, the people, and the things you involve yourself with. Like how you feel about a person, how you feel about that job, how you let the stress of life effect you.

Loving yourself for you!!!

you’ll open your heart and your thoughts to different ideas and different forms of love. So allowing to see your own flaws and battles and addressing them so when the right person comes along. You’ll be open to love completely, but remember finding the love that someone will love Will be your first love.

Does it matter to you how others view you?

It shouldn’t! We do not live in a perfect world.

You live in this world for yourself, remember that as you have others who try to break you down, steal your joy, and destroy your ambition for life.

Mental illness is a serious battle we all face. Some are impacted by it but it’s usually because we feel we are alone in this world. Sure, we have family and people around us daily. But do you really speak up if your feeling upset? Sad? Confused? In limbo? Do you share your thoughts? Do you feel it doesn’t matter how you feel?! Your wrong. Communication in all forms is so important. 80 percent of communication is non verbal.

If you have difficulty in communicating

Try Through journaling, drawing, talking to your best friend, and a therapist. Reaching out to others if you are feeling down is a great source of self love! No one should feel ashamed to share their thoughts and their feelings of not being understood. Whether they are good or bad thoughts. No question is a dumb question and no appointment is worth canceling in doubts that even that appointment might not help you and your battles. We won’t know the difference till we are the difference.
