Why Self Love is Important

So, tell me what do you understand by the phrase 'Love Yourself'? Just praising ourselves? Having a negative attitude towards the others? NO. This is not what love yourself is. Loving Ourselves means knowing our flaws without getting insecure because of them. Loving yourself means knowing we are imperfect and that's what makes us unique. To be honest, I always got skinny shamed everywhere. Whenever I would go to my relatives house they would always ask me, "Don't you eat food?" "Why are you getting skinnier day-by-day?" And I honestly don't know how to answer to all of their questions. I actually have a very high metabolism level, and you know I even came across some people who would say, "Take care you will blow away in the wind." Is this statement even making sense? And I know there are a lot of people like me who get body-shammed, there must be people who are called 'ugly' just because they look a little different from others. Why is there a 'standard' fixed for being beautiful? If you fit in the standard then you are beautiful, if not then you aren't. Even in today's generation we determine someone's beauty by some useless standards like, you need to be fair in color in order to be beautiful. But isn't it ironical how we are the one who are depressed, insecure and complaining when we are the one who made this ridiculous standards to judge someone's beauty. And you you know what the worst part is, when people don't understand what you are going through. They will either make fun of you or will give you an advice, "Don't listen to them." They don't understand the fact that it's hard to overcome your insecurity. But we should stand strong and know how to answer to all those people who negatively point out our flaws. Of course it's not that easy it will not happen in only one day. Take time and know you are not like others, you are limited edition and spread awareness too.

THANK YOU!
