"Accept yourself unconditionally. You don't need others to approve you, accept and love yourself, just because" // 92:365

Many of us neglected the importance of self-love and self-acceptance. We love others more than we love ourselves, we expect others to love us when we do not even love ourselves, we get depress because of ourselves, but how many of us out there, put ourselves before others when it comes to love?

Some say love is selfish, some say love is selfless, so... which?

Self-acceptance and self-love isn't easy, it is so difficult for us to do that to the extent that we gave up trying, or didn't bother trying.

I hate so many things about myself. "Hate" is a really strong word for me, i tend to use "dislike" instead but i'm going to use the word "hate" because that's how much i am unhappy about myself. My face features, my boobs, my stomach, the scars and stretchmarks on my legs, my height, my voice, my laughter, everything. Whenever i look into the mirror, i wish i'm prettier, i wish i wasn't me.

There's always someone better out there. Someone prettier, someone flawless, someone taller, someone smarter. However, people whom we think are perfect may feel the same way as we do, being insecure and stuff, thinking there's someone better than them. And.... the cycle continues.

This is probably why, people like us, like me, expect others to love us/me, even when we don't love ourselves. Whenever there's someone out there who feels something for me, all i do is question and be hesitant about it. "what do they like about me?" "i don't even like myself, why do they even like me" and this is why, when i fall for someone who i believe that he loves me, i give my all. "he loves me when i can't love myself"

Nothing is going to change anything, because there is nothing can be done to stop such cycle, hence the only thing we can do about it, stay positive and be confident. It's hard, but never give up without trying, right?
