For some reason, society tries to quiet them down. And in this social media era, we live in a world, where people really don’t like to see others win. We view these people as being “arrogant”, or “attention-seeking” but we never sit back to ask ourselves,

what battles did this person go through to get to where they are?

Self Love is an individualistic thing. It’s about loving yourself, for yourself, and by yourself. And It’s about appreciating yourself . And that’s why as much as we talk about Self Love as a society.

The reality is that it’s actually very hard for many people to achieve. Because a lot of people don’t really like to take the time to focus on themself for too long. Because when they do, they don’t like what they see.

Self Love is about remembering that you were born for a reason, and that you matter. Self Love is about consciously embracing the notion that you MATTER.
