Love yourself…

This is not a post on how to love yourself, it’s not a step by step process on how to get it right.. It’s about a person who can’t understand what loving yourself means, it’s about a person who cries hearing those words because they have no idea what “love yourself so you can be loved” means because they do love everybody, everybody but themselves…

I love a lot and i love hard, it’s probably at an intensity that most people can’t understand, most of my emotions are, so how can i not love myself? I just can’t seem to grasp the concept of loving yourself – who better than me to see my every flaw, physically, emotionally and mentally?

The step by step guides on this subject make me cringe with the deep philosophical quotes inserted every now again so that people can try make sense of them – we have to remember that however long ago Buddha and the likes lived is very different to the world we have to live in now… There were no super models and no photoshop, no Facebook or twitter, no filters or selfies – back then the world was “real” and such advice was a lot easier to follow than what it is now, because in this day and age nothing seems to be real anymore, not even people.

In a world with millions of people and hundreds of platforms telling us how we should be, how can we ever be happy with who we are let alone love ourselves?
