How do you show yourself Love?

Love? What is love? According to Google love can be defined in many ways. In this era, we are so indulged to find love from someone else. We all have done that. I know I have and finding that love didn't bring me any luck. The only people in my life who stayed and showed immense love to me are my parents. No one else stayed back and in that phase of my life guess who I found who gave me all the love I ever wanted? Myself! All these fairytales and romantic movies led me to believe you need a guy to bring you love but no those are false advertisements, that only look good on-screen and, off-screen it's all a different story. So how to show love to yourself? By this, I don't mean you start masturbating haha, but if it does make you happy then go and do what you love ;)

Philautia is a healthy form of love where you recognize your self-worth and don’t ignore your personal needs. Self-love begins with acknowledging your responsibility for your well-being. It’s challenging to exemplify the outbound types of love because you can’t offer what you don’t have. ( source: Google) and here the love catalyst is your own soul, Your soul allows you to reflect on your necessary needs and physical, emotional, and mental health.

How exactly do I show myself, love? Well it is actually really simple for me, I buy myself Some mouth-watering Iced Coffee and it just gives me that coffeegasm in one sip within seconds, I take myself out for lunch, shopping, spoil myself with all the things I want ( With my own money ofcourse), go to a saloon get a new hairlook and all these little things make me happy from within because this brings me all smiles, not depression or sadness. I really cannot be from those girls who cry over a boy. I am that girl who doesn't give a flying F*** to a guy who doesn't value my worth and my past experiences has made me who I am today. So If you just brokeup with someone then my love, This is the perfect time to get yourself together and start loving yourself, Love your soul and you will start loving your body eventually.Life can be hectic, So go out socialize and if your not an extrovert then go to your family, make plans with them, Self love- Go netflix and chill by yourself, get working on your hobby. The only person that can bring positivity and love in your life is YOU YOURSELF! Because no one knows you better that you own self.

And If you ever feel like talking to someone then your virtual sister is right here for you, to make you believe in yourself. I hope you find who you are and realize that self love is the love you really need.
