Self-love is to be kind to yourself, to be patient with yourself, and forgiving to yourself. Yes, it is important to forgive yourself, because that’s where healing truly begins. Think highly of yourself. It’s important to love you, because no one is going to love and cherish you like you do. You don’t have to be perfect, just be you. Can’t you see, you are more than enough? Give yourself a pat on the back, clap your hands for committing to invest in you. Don’t forget to tell yourself thank you for not giving up on you. You’re not just great; you are greatness, and it lives within you. Self-love is the best love!
“The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.”
-Socrates
