Since I started the month with a post talking about self-love. I figured I’d end the month with one. Since February is the month of love due to Valentine’s day .
During Valentine’s day, I saw a lot of great posts from people talking about the topic of self-love. This got me thinking about it again. Granted as I stated in my original post self-love means different things to different people.
For me, self-love means to be accepting of yourself and whatever faults or issues you have. I am getting better at that slowly but surely. I think Valentine’s day can be a bit of a tricky day for some of us. Maybe we have too much self-doubt or too much past hurt that we don’t feel we are deserving of love (Yes I’m calling myself out right there). Once again everyone is different and we all have our own personal battles to fight. But self-love is an important one not to ignore.
Personally, I’m glad people are bringing this topic up again. We need to know that it’s okay to be on your own for a while. Let’s be honest if your not happy with yourself can you truly be happy with someone else? I don’t think so but then again that’s my own opinion. For me, I’ve realized I need to stop complaining about things and start accepting them. Once you can move past whatever it is that’s holding you back you can move forward. It’s not easy and it takes work. It sure beats the hell out of feeling awful. If your willing to own up to whatever your issues or trauma might be that’s a start in the right direction.
Again as I mentioned in my original post you benefit from help of others such as a therapist. That’s perfectly fine we all can’t fit our personal battles alone. Some require more thorough insight from those outside sources. Self-love starts with you and no one else. Once you figure out what needs to be improved upon or talked about (I won’t use the term fixed because we’re people, not cars). Then you can take the needed steps to move on. I commend those who have been brave enough to put themselves out there to share their stories. and show the world that we aren’t always as we seem.

I commend those who have been brave enough to put themselves out there to share their stories. I also thank them because it gave me the forethought to rethink my own self-love patterns over the years. No matter how you feel about the topic take time to reevaluate yourself. You may be surprised at what you learn about yourself.
