Importance of Self-Love

The best kind of love is self-love.

At the end of the day, remember to always nourish your mind and soul. Self-love is the best kind of love.

Nothing else should be more important than you! Yet, I find it fascinating that a majority of the population from time to time seems to forget that, myself, included. I mean, the way I see it–– the world is constantly moving forward and our lives are just so busy (or maybe even stagnant) that we get too caught up in our lives and forget to take a moment to take care of ourselves sometimes.

I can't emphasize enough the importance of self-love and the wonders it can do for one individual. To put it into perspective, nobody is going to love me more than me, and I don't mean that in a narcissistic way either. When the first guy I had ever fallen in love with, my best friend of years, had cheated on me, I felt lost.

Nobody wants to get cheated on ever but hey, I came to the realization soon enough my self-worth and that I was beyond this. It sparked something within me and I wanted to get out of this bad mojo and I realized that in order to do so I needed to fall in love with myself. I took the time to focus on myself––my mind, my happiness, and all that jazz included. I took myself out on dates––tried new things, discovered new places, and treated myself.

At the end of the day, all I had was myself, and the infinite love I had for myself made me feel self-empowering and invincible. I flourished into a completely new person. I had no care for the world except trying to be the best version of myself. I learned to really love myself and the flaws that I once saw in myself were nothing more than just normalities rather than flaws. Everyone has flaws.

Now don't get me wrong, everyone has rough days and self-love is something I still struggle with from time to time, but finding what works for you is the beginning steps. Truthfully, it's quite the journey. If you're stressed out, stuck in a bad mojo, or whatever it may be, remember to always come back to the moment and take the time to really focus on yourself.

I promise, things are going to be okay in the end. The haunting thoughts that are worrisome inside your head aren't worth the detriments to your mental health and well-being.Although it may seem easier to focus on the flaws within ourselves or our lives, it's important to really take that step back and look at everything and tackle it head on one by one and grow from it. Nobody is going to know you better than you.

I'll leave it simply with this, fall in love with yourself. Never allow somebody or anything to question your worth because you are always, always going to be worth it. Your well-being and happiness should never be compromised for anything.

Self-love is a personal journey that will be different for everyone; some days are easy, and some days are rough and that's okay. Love yourself and all the things you have to offer to the universe.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
