Self Love is the best love-

By Emilie Randall

One of the worst feelings in the world is being selfish for not loving yourself. The reasons why many people do self love themselves is because they feel like their not good enough, a failure, or depression. People give up on themselves due to the amount of stress they put themselves through, no more time, or most likely they don’t love themselves anymore. Well, I’m going to tell you why you should love yourself and the things you should do to help put you in a better place, especially for summer time when you have more time.

The most common reason why people don’t self love themselves is because of self image/hating. The reasons why is because people don’t like the way they look or who they are as a person. Whenever a person looks at them-self at the mirror they point out all their flaws, saying that their not beautiful, not pretty enough and so much more. Also, they listen to what other people say about them like if the person says “ Oh your not even beautiful your fat and ugly, nobody wants u,” than the person their talking about would believe every single word. First, you should not listen to the negative things people say about your personality or what you look like cause their jealous that they can’t look like you. You should absolutely love everything about yourself from body, looks, gender, or whatever because you are beautiful and perfect in your own way.

Now, most of you may be thinking “ What are some things I can do over the summer for self love to love myself?”, well I’m gonna tell you some of the things that you can to feel better about yourself in a better way. One thing you can do is go in front of the mirror with a positive mind and list all the positive things about yourself. The few positive things that people say about themselves is “ I love myself for who I am.”, “Nothing and no one can drag me down.” You can buy yourself fresh flowers every now and then to brighten up your day. But the most important self-love thing you can do is self-care to make sure you’re doing the right things to make your body and mind better. If you read or see this, please remember you are perfect and beautiful just the way you are. Don’t pay attention to what other people say about you how people look at you a different way. The only person you should listen to is yourself or the people who truly love you so always remember to love yourself no matter what. “Love yourself first, and everything else falls in line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.” – Lucille Ball
