Hello Soul Family,
Tonight I am here to remind you about the importance of self-love. Self-love is vital to be truly happy, but many of us brush it off with the excuse of "I don't have the time for that." but in actuality you do, you just don't feel like making the time for it which ultimately leads us in a downward spiral. You always have time for yourself, it's your choice if you make the time for your needs and wants. In life, your happiness comes first, and I know it may sound selfish, but it's true. Nobody can make you happy, only you can do that for yourself. This is something I am still learning in my nineteen years of life. Being in toxic friendships that made my world crumble and being in past relationships that I thought made me happy when I was actually codependent on the person to bring me happiness. Well, now I've been learning how much of an amazing, kind, and compassionate person I am, and I can say that once you learn this, it makes loving someone else much better. There are many ways to show yourself some love, whether it be curling up under a blanket watching your favorite series on Netflix or going out to get a massage; they are both forms of self-love. Some ways of self-love that I practice are yoga, my morning pep talks as I look in the mirror, meditation, and making a list of all the things I love about myself. Remember that in some sense, you are like a plant; to grow, you need to show the plant love along with its needs for it to blossom.
