It's easy to say "I LOVE MYSELF" yet when you look yourself in the mirror sometimes or rather MOST of the time, YOU DON'T LIKE THE REFLECTION YOU SEES.
You, looking fat. You, having new sets of pimples. You, having eye bags. You, not being liked. You, being indifferent. Sounds familiar? You always wish for the things you don't have. For the things others have but you haven't.
But does it matter? Not being someone you always wish to be? Having that thing you really wish to have? Being someone you're not supposed to be.
Have you ever ask yourself? Why do you need to be perfect? Why do you need to be liked? Why do you need to pretend to be someone? Why should you be affected if someone doesn't like you? Why do you care so much for the opinion of others?
Most of the time we keep pretending that we love ourself but we waste our time trying to be someone we shouldn't be. For what? For the likes?For the admiration of whom?, Of the people who admire you just because they don't see any flaws from you. Who loves and likes you when you're at your best and leaves you when you make mistakes or when you at your worst. Those likes, those admirations you received will be turned into hate, to judgments and all they're going to see is the person they don't want. The person they never wish to see.
What you see behind those cameras, behind those likes, behind the fame. That person you see in the mirror, that is YOU. You might see those not so perfect curve, or that new set of growing pimples, or that crooked teeth of yours. But does it matter? What matters is that what you are seeing right now is the real you. The person you need to accept. The person you need to love. Because that person is the same person that is perfectly made by GOD. Perfectly made not for others to see. But for God and for you to see.
Being rejected or being unlikeable is not a reason to hate yourself. God made us indifferent because we have different reasons why we are here. He has something for us, something He wants us to be.
To love yourself is to accept yourself first. Accepting wholeheartedly. Because once you accept yourself that's when you know you love yourself. And nobody can ever hurt you because you know yourself better than others. They might judge you or say mean things about you but you won't care anymore, you won't care because you know yourself more than them. You forget to care for people's opinions about you nor wanting to be liked because you know at the end of the day, their opinion doesn't make YOU, but you, yourself, make YOU.
