Love Yourself First
All my life I’ve had the terrible habit of putting everyone else’s needs above my own in an attempt to be loved. And as cliche as it sounds I’ve found that the key is to love yourself first.
It’s not selfish to love yourself first. Because at the end of the day people come and go out of your life and all you’re left with is yourself.
Taking the time to do some self care or focusing on yourself is amazing! And you can still do that plus staying engaged with your family and friends. Life is about balance. Life is about love. This is your life. Don’t waste the time you have being sad or feeling unworthy of love because people don’t show up for you like you do for them. Romanticize your life.
Let me know in the comments if you want me to do a series on how I practice this (I’m still learning to do it too) and how I overcome the societal pressures and take myself on dates!

Self-love is an essential aspect of personal growth and well-being. When you prioritize loving yourself, you create a healthier relationship with those around you. Engaging in self-care—which might include activities like journaling, meditation, or enjoying time in nature—allows you to reconnect with your inner self and boost your confidence. Self-love helps break the cycle of seeking validation from others, empowering you to view your worth independently. Moreover, romanticizing your life involves finding joy in the little things, such as treating yourself to a favorite meal or going for a walk in the park. Celebrating tiny victories can improve your mood and strengthen your self-esteem. It’s also crucial to set healthy boundaries with friends and family, ensuring that your own needs are met. Balance is key in nurturing relationships while focusing on your own needs. Remember, you can love others without sacrificing your self-worth or happiness. Continue to nurture your journey towards self-love by engaging with like-minded individuals who are also on a path of discovery.
