Because you can't learn to love anything genuine, if you don't love yourself first

Why Self-Love Should Be An Important Factor In Your Life
Stocksnap

Self-love is one of the strongest traits a person can have. You're with it as a little human-being and gradually, over time, you face different milestones in your life that can alter that self-love you endured as a child. I like to believe when I look at such things around me, whereever I may be at the time. When I look, I capture. I capture memories I love, dislike, wish I could go back in time and change. But that would mean you've still left a window open, in your heart, that's allowed to break you, shape you or alter your way of thinking whenever you think of that memory.

To be able to love yourself entirely throughout this life, means you're allowed to make mistakes as a human and still love the person you are after.

If there is anything I learned growing up with a variety of meaningful and non-meaningful memories, ones I wish I could take back. It does not mean it defines you, or any action you've made, or anything that is stopping you from loving the person you are today.

It's important to be aware of the person you are today, in order to love yourself from here on. It means you can tackle anything, and allow yourself to break in difficult scenarios and not be the person you are when you're full of emotions, simply because...your self-love overcomes it all.

Your ability to acknowledge bad scenarios, and unwanted feelings gives you room and strength that you didn't ask for. To believe in yourself every day and know since you love yourself, you can never be defined by another human beings action. Whether it's a negative or positive impact on yourself, the self-love you endure and achieve more of every day is now defining the beautiful person you were set out to be. So remember, to love you because their is no one else out there who can be you and have the same mind as you. Flaunt it, own it, and believe in yourself everyday because you are worth it. 0-100, real quick folks.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
