Love yourself

I skipped my October post due to so many emotions, feelings, and controversies…

Today, I’ve decided to write about love. The first step to happiness is loving yourself. As the saying goes, “If you don’t love yourself, you won’t allow others to love you.” In my personal experience and in my interactions with people, this statement is almost always true.

Love life. Wake up and smile. No matter your circumstances, the fact that you are waking up means you are alive. Learn to look around and appreciate your surroundings—the moon, the sun, trees, flowers, and your loved ones who are still with you.

Remember to hug your family and friends and tell them you love them because tomorrow might be too late. Love is a powerful word that can bring a smile even when you feel down. Think about that person (whether it’s a spouse, child, parent, or animal) and smile, feeling the warmth in your heart.

Always remember that there is love in this world; just let it in. Learn to love yourself first—that’s the most important step. I’m here to help.

If you need to talk, I’m here, ready to listen.
