What about a self-love?

February 16, 2022

Hello Lovely Readers!

Again, I started writing this one past my schedule. I was hoping to start writing right after lunch but after I had a shower my body is aching and I feel so tired that I fell asleep while I'm in the store. Luckily my niece stayed with me this afternoon and had a long nap, yes here in the store.

My brother saw me and asked me why am I sleeping here at the store and told him that I have body aches and a few sneezes and I regret telling him about it as now he is convincing me to have an antigen test. Told him, I'll observe it first as I don't have a fever so I guess nothing to worry about. Besides, antigen is not working with me. LOL I always get a negative antigen test but when they do RT-PCR test it gives me the real result.

Anyway, let's just hope it's just a normal body ache and that I'll not have a fever or else I'll not have a reason not to undergo a swab test.

Anyway, I was searching for a quote that I can add to my article on the other platform when I thought of sharing some with you. It's all about self-love. Yep, I always talk about self-love but believe me it's not easy. Even I forget it most of the time. Anyway, here are the quotes that I thought I'll share with you.

You are enough. A thousand times enough. - Unknown

I read that line many times, the "you are enough" thingy. But are we really enough? Sometimes I also question myself am I really enough? But If I'm not enough for myself then I'm not enough for anyone else. How and when can we really say that we are enough? How one can say a thousand times enough? I guess you can only say that if you really love yourself. If you know how to value yourself. If you know your worth. One thing that I think I still need to work out with myself.

“You have to believe in yourself when no one else does – that makes you a winner right here.” —Venus Williams

Another line that's easy to say but hard to do not that I don't believe in myself. I know and I believe that I can do a lot of things. I know that I believe in myself. But sometimes we need someone to tell us that they believe in us too. That our fight is worth all the efforts. Sometimes, life is easier when we know that there is someone who believed in us, that there is someone who cheers for us. And sometimes, it is not all about winning, sometimes knowing that there is someone by your side is enough.

 “A person learns how to love himself through the simple acts of loving and being loved by someone else.” —Haruki Murakami

I agree with this one. Loving oneself becomes easier when there is someone who shows you the simple acts of loving. If there is someone who is reminding you that you can be loved by other people. But it doesn't mean that we have to rely on other people to love us in order for us to love ourselves.

There are so many reasons why there are times we find it hard to love ourselves. But remember, during those times that we find it hard to love ourselves, during those times that we feel worst, are the time that we really have to focus on ourselves. It is during these times that we have to love ourselves most.

And yes, there will be a lot of questions, but in the end, with or without an answer to those questions that keep pestering you, you still have to love yourself. Because no one can love you the way you can love yourself.
