I really like to talk about self-love, maybe because it's a difficult subject for me. This subject touches me and fascinates me because it is very extensive.
Taking care of yourself is knowing what makes us feel good, it's getting to let go of our toxic relationships. It's learning to say no, to let our guilt dissolve. It means putting ourselves first, and recognizing our values and qualities. This does not mean that we see ourselves as perfect beings, to whom no change is necessary; quite the contrary.
It is succeeding in seeing ourselves as something in constant transformation, that will always have a way to go. As a woman, I think this topic can be even trickier. We are shown ads every day with women who don't represent us, who have nothing to do with real life. They are ''perfect'', we are not. But who said we should be "perfect"?
At 28, I'm in the middle of the transition to adulthood, from being a girl to being a woman, and it's still not so obvious to me: it's mostly a very irregular journey. I think to see myself as a woman I have to look more refined, be more talented, more successful...always more something. And this is a reflex of our society, we must always be dissatisfied for the system to be perpetual.
Yesterday I realized one thing though: to be a fulfilled woman is to have confidence in who we are in this world. It is recognizing our value with self-love. Because once we value ourselves, no one can undo that. When we recognize our value, we automatically begin to take care of ourselves.
The journey begins in us, for us. We have to let go of our old habits (including our emotional habits) for change to happen. It is a labor of love and benevolence to be done daily so that we can remember the beauty that dwells within us every day.
