Loving yourself is important
Self-love is one of the best gits you can give yourself. It’s the gift that keeps on giving.

It isn’t hard to love ourselves
Why is it hard to love ourselves? The short answer is that we were raised in a society that didn’t teach us about self-love. And, as we grew up, we didn’t explore the subject. Not even a bit!
Throughout our early lives, we were taught how to read, write, calculate, build, theorize, study, and analyze life.
We were taught about moral science, civility, about what was acceptable and unacceptable to others and society at large but most of us failed to be educated in self-love.
The result of not being taught self-love in childhood and adopting the socially acceptable guise of being a martyr is depression, bitterness, anxiety, resentment, and fragile self-esteem.
