Love Yo Selfie

Often times when you think about "love", where does your mind go? For some of us it might be the love shared between a couple or a family, friends etc. Rarely however do we think about ourselves. The world can feel like its spinning a million miles an hour, I know mine is. We spend so much time making sure everyone else is okay that we often times neglect ourselves. We love everyone and try to make sure they know that, but what about making sure we know we love ourselves? That were happy with who we are? You may be thinking I've gone crazy right now trying to tell you to love yourself lol. I'm serious though, we are our biggest critics and I feel like we spend so much time critiquing ourselves that we forget to be happy with who we are. We tend to excuse mistakes of ones we care  about, as we should but then we dwell on our own mistakes and let them tear us apart. We need to show ourselves the compassion we show others and we need to be comfortable with who we are as our own person before we can truly be comfortable with anyone else. This leads me to something else I've thought about lately. Everyone wants to be loved by someone but if we don't love ourselves then how can we let someone else love us? Think about it this way, someone loves you but because you don't truly love yourself, you can easily be blind to this or  not understand why they love you, like you don't deserve it. I think we've all felt that way, I know I have. So how do you fix this? Get to know yourself again, learn the ins and outs of you before jumping into trying to help  everyone else. I'm not saying go get full of yourself but do things to make yourself feel good, to make you feel confident and see what loving yourself can really do in your life. If you want to work in others lives you must always begin in your own :)
