About Loving Yourself (English Version)


Many people often forget to love themselves. But actually it’s one of the most important aspects in life (in my opinion). Maybe there are also people who thought they have loved themselves, but haven’t done it in the best way.

So, how to love ourselves? Look, if we love someone just the way they are, it means we love them with all their talents and their weaknesses, right? That’s what we need to do to ourselves. To love ourselfves because of our talents, but also love ourselves though we know we have weaknesses.

Don’t hate ourselves because of our weakness. Because we know we have it, then we have to try to fix it so we can be a better person. When we can’t love ourselves, we can’t explore our talent perfectly.

The truth is, everyone has weakness. So if we can love others with their weaknesses, why can’t do the same to ourselves?

That, is something I’ve been trying. To love myself just the way I am, with all talents and weaknesses that I have. To be honest, when I did a mistake few weeks ago, it’s really hard not to hate myself. At that time, I realized that I was a very selfish person. Truly hate myself because of it. I always know that I’m a selfish person, but never thought I’m a VERY selfish person.

But then I think, if because of it I hate myself, then all this time I only loved my talents, and not also love my weakness. And it made me realize, that I do need to truly learn to love myself, while keep trying to fix my weakness.

And I have one good quote from my friend. He said, “if you want to be more good, you need to love you too.” I think it’s very true and very inspiring. Now can you see, how important it is, to love ourselves?

Whoever you are and wherever you are, don’t forget to love yourself just the way you are. All talents and weaknesses in you, which created you as you are right now.

So, love yourself, starting from now :)
