Hey all, 

Like on everything, we all have our different set of opinions and ideas likewise for me self-love maybe something different and for you. it might be something else. So, for me, self-love can never be selfish till the time it is done within a limit. Anything that exceeds its limit can be destructive at some point.

 Like everything self-love is pivotal too. It must be on your to-do list, it must be taken care of and you must do it anyhow because at the end of the day when one feels lost, tired, retarded and whatnot and when nobody appreciates you for the work, time and efforts that you have invested in something, it’s you who can always feel loved and appreciated with small treats or appreciation that you gift to yourself for the hard work that you have put in. 

Self-love is something that alleviates you, encourages you, motivates you and most importantly inspires you to keep up the good work. And yes, don’t keep self-love only for your good times. Spare some for the times when you feel like doing nothing and just procrastinating things. 

Self-love is knowing your worth and accepting it open-heartedly. It is about loving your scars and celebrating yourself. And by celebrating yourself I mean not letting anyone let you down for anything, not allowing anyone to control you, not permitting anyone to abuse you mentally, physically or emotionally and never let anyone take you for granted. 

Self-love can be achieved only when you know your self-worth and are self-aware. No matter what, live your life as you wish to and don’t allow anybody to come and tell you what suits you and what doesn’t, or what shade defines you. Never. You and only you have the right to define yourself because you know yourself better than anyone can ever know you. 

Ergo, it is indubitably pivotal to know and accept your self-worth because it is centripetal to self-love. Once you understand the concept of it, you won’t need anyone’s validation for anything and at that moment you will probably realize what solace and satisfaction mean. These two S’s are signal because generally at a certain point in time we require comfort and serenity. Satisfaction on the other hand can be something that is a pre-requisite for human existence. 

So, these were my opinions on self-love. I would love to know about yours. 

Thank you.
