I usually post quotes and texts around here that are I love but did not come from my own heart, but from other, great authors, so this time I want to make this post my own.
What is self love? self love is different for each person, because the way you get to it is different for everyone but the feeling is one and the same.
For me, dontco for you...
Self love is accepting yourself unconditionally, no matter if someone else is not accepting you as you.
Self love is letting go of perfection- and understanding you are great just the way you are.
Self love is noticing your own good qualities and appreciating them.
Self love is understanding everybody makes mistakes, yourself included, and that's just fine.
Self love is understanding you are not a barbie doll and you don't have to look at the mirror and see plastic to look beautiful. You don't have to look like you were airbrushed while you are walking down the street. Standarts of beauty around the world change all the time, but you are the one who will stay with a bad feeling in your heart if you feel like the universally accepted beautiful is the only kind of beautiful there is. Perfection is not needed anymore, and you have let it go.
Self love is not needing anyone's approval to be happy. When you're not depending on other people's words and actions to be just want you want, just when you want them so you would be happy and love yourself. You decide for yourself!
Self love is respecting yourself enough to say enough to negativity. It's avoiding watching sad stories on the news because you know it will affect you badly for the rest of the day. It's listening only to songs you know make you feel good. It is saying NO to negative thoughts and pushing them away when you sense they're on the way, so you could be happy.
Self love is doing things that are intersting to you and that make you happy no matter what anyone else thinks of them.
Self love is being comfortable in your own skin, even if your skin is not perfect by the society's standarts.
Self love is caring and loving yourself no matter if you're single or in a relationship, and loving where you are no matter what anyone else's point of view is on the situation.
Self love is having a loving relationship with YOURSELF and undestanding that's the most important relationship you will ever have for your entire life.
Self love is stepping away from obsessions because you know it is best for YOU and you care enough for yourself to do so.
Self love is something you owe to yourself.
