Become Your Own Best Friend

14 41

We can't deny this eternal truth that We all are social creatures so we can't live alone, we need someone to accompany us, to spend time with us. But in the process of creating new relationships and maintaining old relationships often we ignore our own self, we give most of our priorities to someone else unbeknownst to us.

When we give most of our attention, priorities, love to others as a natural reaction we gets some heartaches, some heartbreaks, some pains, some sufferings which is pretty normal to happen.

Over the years, I have had learned nothing but how to become my own best friend, how to love myself with the whole heart. No one knows yourself more than you do, so try to become your own best friend instead of trying to find someone else. You are the one who will be there for yourself so never ever neglect yourself just to please others in vain.

Though I'm too strong to break now, but I also have a hidden side which is already broken and entirely impossible to entwine again. There were uncountable nights when I just shed tears silently, I cried not because I was hurt or broken but just because I wanted to make myself more tired, more weak so that I could sleep peacefully.

Over the years, I realised I need to be my own best and bossom friend, I need to learn to comfort myself without the help of anyone else, I need to learn to overcome the pains which I was and am dealing with . It was not easy for me to accomplish all these things but the best thing is I made it though I had to sacrifice a lot of people and things and I earned the most precious things, Myself and My Self-Love, now I have nothing to sacrifice so I'm not afraid at all to give myself all those things which I truely deserve. It is a never ending process which I'm still learning.

Just like others, I too had a pile of dreams and goals which I wanted to achieve but now I no longer crave for any kind of earthily materials, now for me my inner peace is the new success and destination. There comes a time in almost everyone's life when you can feel physically, emotionally, mentally sick just because you think you are not good enough, you can't do anything, you can't achieve anything, no matter how much you try.

Currently some people are asking me that 'They used to be your best friends, most cherished people but now why are you so mean to them?? Why you have changed this much??' I believe many of us have already encountered with this types of questions just like me where you don't have any proper answer to give them. But now I know why I'm behaving like this to them__ Sometimes you need to show people their deserved place and behaviour so they can't treat you like a trash again. Whenever I give some bad behaviors to someone in return, it hurts me more than that person as I'm not accustomed to do it but sometimes you have to do something which you have never done not because you want to hurt them but because you want to save yourself from decaying and withering.

Now my first and last aim is to be happy. I just wanna be contented , not confused, not hurt, not harmed, not withered, not stressed just Happy and Peaceful. We always considers a smiley face as a happy personality , a happy soul but not all the things works like this because sometimes some people can be sad, depressed with a wide a smile. They don't smile Just because it makes them more beautiful, They smile Just because they want to avoid some unnecessary melodrama and conflicts. There are some tears in the heart that do not reach your eyes,so you need to smile whether you want or not.

One can see the brightest, the strongest, the fun loving, the funny side of mine but unfortunately or fortunately no one knows that I also gets depressed very often which I wanted to show to my closest ones but now I don't want to show the broken side of mine because when people sees the fragile side of yours, they tries their best to break you again and again.

I have changed a lot I can't even describe how much. I'm not that girl anymore which I used be. I'm not regretting for all those things and people which and whom I lost as in the process of loosing, sacrificing and compromising I found a real gem, Myself.

Some people says that I have become heartless, maybe they are right I have become heartless just because I'm using my heart-less. My heart has already altered with a hard and tough stone so naturally my heart stopped a long time ago, the heart throbs I'm witnessing and listening is just nothing but a mere echo of my decayed heart. Now, I'm nothing but a mere shadow of myself.

It seems I'm stuck between my past and present. It seems I'm stuck between all the choices I have made and the opportunities I was and am too afraid to take.

The worst trait of mine is, When I cry about one thing I always ends up crying about almost everything which are messed up in my life. The best trait of mine which eventually makes me proud about myself is that I cried, I screamed, I suffered at night silently but I never ever gave up on life,on happiness, on people who truely loves me.

I just wanna say Keep taking your time for yourself until you find who you are again. If you feel low now then remember we sometimes need to go down just to rise again with more energy, more enthusiasm, more brightness just like the sun. We all are destined to lose and be lost but make sure you still have yourself, you still have your love , your care for yourself. No matter what happens, No matter what the situation is just try to be yourself as Being yourself is a Bliss itself.

I couldn't agree more. All you have by the end of the day is 'yourself'. I also learned to cherish, love, and give myself more attention this time being because I lost myself in the process of keeping in touch with other people around me. I still love my friends but I have to love myself more. 💗

Agree be your own best friend because people come and go, yes for today they are right by your side and they are your friend but as times goes by sometimes we need to separate ways and welcome changes, still we are thankful to meet beautiful people that gives us beautiful memories.

The more energies and love that we give the others the more weaker they made us, in my life I just learnt no one do a proper care to us except our family. The social circle of friends are with us till yet their means are attached with us so first give priority to yourself and then to others.

This speaks volume. We should learn to care, love and value ourselves. At the end of the day, we only have ourselves left to us. We should learn to cherish every moment with ourselves.

I experience also your part that friends can really hurt us although it's really part of our lives to struggle some problems. That's the reason you need to help yourself and your the one also can solve it. So always love yourself first.

The moral of the story is we have to love ourselves more than others cause if we don't love or respect himself nobody will

Exactly, no matter what happens just try to love yourself with your whole heart. We need to remember if we can't love ourselves, accept ourselves then why other people would do these things for us .

That's why loving ourself is a must, we should not think that it's being selfish but it's about taking care our mental health. Because the only person who will stay with you for the rest of your life is yourself:)

Exactly that is why instead of thinking what other people would say we need to love ourselves as much as possible.

I feel this one many times before. One thing that made me feel this are the words that i heard from other people but later on, i learned and change. In the process of changing myself for the betterment, i lost other people but despite losing, i am happy that i found back myself. I learn to be me again. To be happy with my own company and to enjoy life without minding what other people would think about me. They can call me selfish but that's okay, what matters most is that i learn to love myself this time. I can be my own bestfriend

Often some people thinks self-love is selfish which is not in actual. It's okay to struggle sometimes but the most important thing is we need to try to find ourselves back as soon as possible. This is exact thing we need to do which you're doing right now. Let's not mind those people who want nothing but to see depressed and as a failure.

Yes, ignoring all those people who can bring out the negative side of us and can cause toxicity in our life is a must to do so we can live our life the way we want it to be

Dear Irene, you wrote very beautifully. No one in life can value us as much as we do. So it is very good to value ourselves more than anyone. It is good to always think of our own peace and happiness. And the priority of every decision should be first of all ourselves.

Thank you for appreciation. It's true that no one can't see our pains, no one can't feel what we are feeling, no one can't understand ourselves. Sometimes it's okay to become Selfish, if being Selfish you can feel your peace and happiness in a positive way then go for it
