Loving my self is an important part of my life. This is because I’m able to learn about myself. Loving my self has been a major part of me life. Even if I never loved myself, it was a part of my life. It was not easy to be able love oneself. It had been hard for me to love myself after I experienced low self-esteem. Also, I felt like an outsider. Every person at one time in their lives needs to love themselves. It is because of this that I believe self-love is one joyous thing in life.
Being happy with your self is a key to being able to love and accept others. It wasn’t possible for me to feel the same way as others. This meant that I needed to expect society to be like me. For example, uniforms were required for elementary school. I wore dresses as well, just like girls. I didn’t see myself as pretty as the girls in their dresses. I thought that I didn’t live up to my “expectations”. It wasn’t my expectations, it was society expectations. I tried to achieve them all the time. I would follow the example of others. I was a middle schooler and would read social media. It said, “It helps me think and it doesn’t stress my shoulders when you worry about what other people think.” This meant to me that I should dress as I wanted without thinking. While it is possible to take it in any other way, that was not my choice. Low self-esteem teenagers find middle school hard. I found middle school difficult because of the bullying. I hated seeing others get upset by stupid things. I realized that I wanted help and started to offer compliments. It had a positive effect on other people when they learned to love and accept themselves. They would ask me how my day was and I’d get back compliments that made it easier to love me for who I am. My teen years have taught me that socializing is essential for self-love. You can discover your true self and potential by getting to know others. Ask someone how they are doing. Then, have a conversation. Be open to listening and showing love. Positive feedback can be received by being positive. I have received positive feedback and respect from caring people. You can achieve happiness by being happy. Your presence can bring happiness to others by accepting yourself. It was easy to see how my day runs so smoothly once I started to love myself. Loving oneself is powerful and can also be a positive influence on others. I believe that everyone should love themselves wholeheartedly.
