A reminder to you

   

I just want to share with you guys this little story in my life. One day me and my friends were having a casual conversation about - "What's the proudest thing you did for yourself?" Then, I said "self-love" without thinking because I feel like I learn to love myself more and put myself first before anything else, even though I learnt it the hard way. Then one of my friends said: "No, you don't love yourself, I've seen you hurting yourself." That simple sentence hit me like a truck. At that moment I didn't know what to say, I sat back and recalling all the stupid things I did to myself. My friend reminded me of things that I tend to forget and makes me realised that I don't love myself.

Sometimes you just need to find someone that loves you to remind you to love yourself and i'm thankful i have a friend who told me that. I want to do the same to everyone who is reading this right now, if you are feeling upset, down, anxious, hopeless, living without purpose, or anything that affects you, i know it can be hard but i'm here to remind you that there is someone out there in the world who truly cares about you, you are loved, you are needed, you deserve much more better than you do now, put yourself first, think of your own well-being first. It doesn't mean taking a hot bath when you feel like. It means, as one commenter mentioned generally, putting your needs before others, at a time when others need you. Take care of your own feelings because no one knows you better than you.
