Kalyee Srithnam: Love Yourself First
The truth about love.
Everybody knows it’s important, but they don’t know why, so I want to answer that question.
Love is important because it is the glue that keeps us all together. It’s what makes us want to be better people, it’s what allows us to forgive and forget, and it’s the one thing that can never be taken away from us. Love is the most important thing in life, and we should all cherish joy when we can!
There’s a comedian that says that every cloud has a silver lining. Love is the the silver lining. Love is what makes us happy, it’s what keeps us going when things get tough, and it’s what makes life worth living.
Without love, we would be nothing.
We need to love ourselves before we can love anyone else, and once we have that, we can do good for others.
When we love ourselves, we are able to see our own beauty. We are also able to love others more deeply and appreciate them more.
How do we learn to love ourselves?
It’s good to start with: how often do you compare yourself to others? I did it for years, especially when I was feeling insecure.
Love is not a competition, love is something that we all have inside of us. It’s the light that guides us through the dark times. Love is what makes us unique and special. Love is what makes us human.
Love is the key to happiness, and it starts with us! We should love ourselves for who we are, not for what we look like on the outside. We should love ourselves for our quirks and our faults. We should love ourselves because we are worthy of love.
Loving yourself is not selfish, it’s necessary. If we love ourselves more, we’ll love the world more.
Love is the answer to everything. Love is what we all need more of in our lives. Love is what will make the world a better place.
So let’s start today! Let’s love ourselves more, and watch the love multiply! Love is the most important thing in life, and it starts with us!
Xoxo,
Kalyee
