self-love

At some point in our lives, we all face moments of doubt, insecurity, and self-criticism. For a long time, I judged myself harshly, trying to fit into the molds others expected of me. But I discovered something transformative: self-love isn't selfishness; it's an emotional and mental necessity. Learning to accept myself with my strengths and weaknesses has been the first step toward a freer, fuller, and more authentic life.

Self-love is looking in the mirror and stopping criticizing what we see. It's speaking to ourselves with compassion, stopping comparing ourselves to others, and starting to value ourselves from within. It means setting boundaries, saying "no" when something isn't good for us, and giving ourselves permission to rest, heal, and grow. It's not a final destination, but a daily practice that strengthens our self-esteem and dignity.

Today I can say that I respect myself more, that I listen to my body, my emotions, and my dreams. And although I'm still learning, I know that every small act of love toward myself leads me to live with greater peace. If you're also on this path, don't give up. Self-love is a gift only you can give yourself. And believe me: you're worth it. No
