Thoughts on self love
This is my first post on here and I am planning to use this as a place to dump my thoughts on various topics without a lot of editing. Think of it like journal entries, that I want to share with you.
The depths and breadths of love are never ending. As time passes, love becomes sweeter, more familiar, friendlier and meaningful. The depth of our love towards others can only match the level of self love we have towards ourselves. It is through knowing us and loving us, we become aware of the possibilities of the true capacity of heart. Where we step away form the analytical mind into the realm of appreciating emotions. To let oneself feel, without judging the feeling is a huge part of self acceptance. I want to be more in touch with my deepest feelings instead of running away from them. Being vulnerable means confronting our feelings, both the happy and unhappy kind. To know myself, from the inside is something only I am capable of, while others can give me feedback from their perspective. Both of these are equally important for self discovery.
The beautiful thing about self discovery is that while each of us are different, we all share many similarities, which connects us a fellow human beings. We share similar pain, insecurities, happiness and joy. There are some fundamental unity in all human beings and the more you discover yourself, the more you can notice the thread that connects you with others and the more you can see parts of yourself in different people.
My daily task is to love myself, to treat myself as my best friend, to explore my feelings, do the things I feel most connected with that brings me joy. And through this journey I want to stay present and mindful and share the positivity with others.
