The Power of Self-Love!

Have you ever felt like you were in seventh heaven when you found out you matter to someone??… It doesn’t always have to be a lover.

– Be it an affirming statement from your friend (“You are the best friend I ever had…”) (You’ll be like… Hell yeah!! Who else can tolerate your bullshit if it’s not me? 😁),

– Or a little word of appreciation from your boss (“You have done a great job!!”),

– Or those cheesy lines from your parents 😂 (“Of all the things I have done, I will always be proud to be your father!!”)…

Those clammy palms, that jittery, squirmy, ticklish feeling in your stomach, that over-the-moon sensation of knowing you are being valued… ❤️

Unconditional love is something all of us crave, but unfortunately, most people never really experience it… (The closest feeling they might get is the love of their beloved pet…)
Ever wondered why some people are mean and judgmental about your decisions? I have personally come across so many people who don’t love (or value) themselves—and they take out the way they feel about themselves on others…

Being selfless starts with you! The more you respect and love yourself, the more you will open up your wings to love and respect others…

I am writing this in a public forum, knowing the fact that most people will judge—as they always do—but a few may find something they can connect to, assuring them that they are not alone…

Despite being optimistic and happy about life always,
There were days when I never felt like getting out of bed…
There were days when I just didn’t want to talk to anyone…
There were days when I just wanted to escape from the so-called society and drama…
There were days when I just wanted to punch some fake people in their faces 😄…

…

I don’t call it “depression” as it’s popularly portrayed… It’s just “normal”—because we live in an era where you’re expected to be competitive even before you’re born. The fact is, we all hit a low phase, and self-love can help you phase out of the phase and resurface once again with all the energy you might need…

Self-love is not always selfish… I prefer to think of it as a feeling of self-respect and self-worth.
Loving oneself doesn’t mean developing a shell and blocking out the world…
It doesn’t necessarily mean having an ego so big that no one else can fit into a room with you…
It doesn’t mean foregoing relationships because you enjoy being with yourself…
It means becoming comfortable with who you are, how you look, or whatever…

No one is perfect… I’m saying that out loud once again: I am flawed. You are flawed.
It’s about how we deal with our imperfections. Just stop beating yourself up over what you did or didn’t do…

Believing in self-worth has really helped me sail through some bad phases of life…
I know it’s challenging, but once you begin to trust more in yourself, you’ll expect less from others.
And when you don’t expect, you’ll start noticing the little things that might bring you immense joy…

You are valued. You are unique.
(Even identical twins don’t share a common fingerprint…)
So are your problems…
Each one of us has been given a different question paper—don’t try to fill it with someone else’s answers.
Solve yours, even if it takes time 🙂

Bye…
Until we speak again…
