“You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.”

-Buddha

There are 101 reasons as to why self love is more important. You see the beauty of yourself through self love. The importance of your being and soul, and the extreme potential of yourself is beyond any imagination when it comes to self love.

There will be situations when life hits you hard and low, as low as the ground and sometimes as high as the sky but remember how precious your little soul is.

You have put yourself through extreme stress — emotionally, mentally and physically and you do deserve a short little break and start loving and cherishing your existence.

The process of obtaining self love tends to be very tricky because when you are at your extreme lows, that’s when you tend to doubt your abilities and question everything about yourself. But once you master the whole process of self love, you will be able to answer the doubts you have about yourself. You become an hero and inspiration for yourself.

It’s okay if you are progressing slowly in the process of self love — loving yourself is never too slow or fast. But remember putting yourself first is not selfish, `but it’s necessary. So don’t be hard on yourself.

So go out and start doing the project of love where you stand first and do things which solely makes you happy like taking a walk, exercise, watching a movie, eating in a fancy restaurant, reading a book, binge watching or even just getting a peaceful sleep. Anything. Just anything which makes you feel safe and happy.

For me writing makes me happy and gives a small escape from reality and makes me learn values about myself.

The trick behind this is no one teaches you; it’s you who finds out how self love works. No one can provide the love and protection that you can give for yourself. And the minute you learn the beauty of self love, nothing can break you. You feel complete and thankful for life.

Maybe the events in your life aren’t happening like how you hoped they would, but surely one day life will turn into your favor. Meanwhile, pat and hug yourselves till you feel the warmth.

So my lovable souls, this is a reminder that you are worth more than the diamonds and the stars in the sky. And I appreciate you for your existence. You are important and you do matter.

I am thankful you exist.
