"You have to love yourself first before anybody else can love you."
Now that is a statement, I struggle to cope with. Why? Why do you have to love yourself before somebody else? Surely the act of being in love with someone involves them loving the parts that you cannot see in yourself. I talk about love in the terms of friendships, relationships and family.
Now I believe that I do not love myself. I don't mind myself, I guess, I'm pretty tolerable of myself but would never go to the extreme of loving myself. It is hard to pinpoint the reasons as to why I never will love myself, but I am a firm believer that this will never change even if I change the things I hate about myself.
In terms of somebody else loving you, this can be the case even if you do not love yourself. Other people are there to comfort you and support you whenever you need it and that is why they will love all of you especially the parts you hate the most.
All I'm saying is that never feel like you're unloveable, trust me I have been that way for years. Even now having a boyfriend and a loving family, I still feel like I am unloveable and never would wish that upon anybody particularly you reading this.
From the bottom of my heart, try and love yourself because it will ultimately make you happy. But do not believe that somebody else cannot love you just because you hate your flaws and imperfections.
"To love oneself is the beginning of a life-long romance”

ReplyI thinks it’s good advice.
ReplyThis is good advice as long as you don't look for your value from the person that loves you.
Meaning you are okay with or without that person.
I think there are things we all hate and love about ourselves and our loves!
Your worth is not because someone loves you or doesn't love you.
Not all love is healthy.
