Good day to you all my tutors and learners on hive.
*Today is another beautiful day on the earth's surface. It’s always a blessing to be alive and kicking always. There is always a reason for us to remain grateful.
Many times we just have to know that our lives are solely ours to live and not for anyone else. Life is so amazing we have realized and that’s the reason why we need to have it in mind that our lives matter most and it should be worth living.*
One way to give value to one's life is to show oneself love and have little or no ill feelings about our existence. No matter how small it might be. We just have to appreciate it always.
There was one thing my dad told me and I made sure I worked towards it always. That one thing has finally become a part of me to date. He said no matter the situation after God then care for yourself first.
Because the very moment you leave the world, humans would only care for you by following you down to your grave but anything after that, they would turn their back on you and live on. Your dear wife would surely leave you, mourn you for some days and then get a new husband. Your children would feel your impact but with time they would surely live on too.
No matter what, we just have to live our own lives. The money one has in the bank saved with our names is not ours, but the one we have spent is ours. And that’s life for us.

This would take me to the prompt word for week 45 edition 1 on the hive learners community with the topic of discussion to be SELF-LOVE.
What is self-love to me?
There are times when I get to experience life from different dimensions. There are times when things would get rosy and times when things would come so hard. It won’t be so smooth forever, that's one thing I am sure of.
I remember the very day when I was still in my final year. We had a lot of expenses to cater to and we had to spend a lot on our project work. At this point, I found it hard to eat good food.
I starved for days and I don’t know what to do next. I thought to myself if I get some cash at hand any time I would make sure I treat myself to the best…
It went on like that for days and I wasn’t able to get myself extra funds even to treat myself to the best. But something later happened with time.
There was an airdrop I was lucky to be awarded, I checked out for its value and I realized I got a worth of 100 dollars then. When I converted it to cash after deducting all necessary gas fees. I was able to get above 50k. Woah 😳 !! That’s a huge amount of money for me.
Immediately I went out to make sure I got myself something good to wear. I realized I should get some clothes first before spending the money on other things. I got dressed the next day and went to a boutique to get myself two round-neck tops and a pair of stock jeans.
On my way back home, I met with a friend of mine, he was hungry too. Because we all knew how much we have spent on our project work. I asked if he would like to join me, which he accepted, then we went to visit a restaurant close by. I ordered rice and chicken then he also ordered for swallow food. I felt like I was on top of the world then because I was able to satisfy my cravings.
After eating we went out to the recreation center, where we took turns playing games and other activities. I would have loved to play the virtual reality game but unfortunately, I couldn’t get to play one. Other games were fun to me.
After playing games, I went to Domino's Pizza and cold stone corner. This was where I got to order a cup of cold stone ice cream for myself. It’s been a long time. I have been craving to have a taste of it.
I was so happy that very day. I made sure I wasn’t self-centered alone but tried to extend my love to others too. I see no reason to love yourself alone when you have the means of making others around you happy.
There are also many other occurrences when I get to suffer for some time then at the end of it, I would make sure to treat myself right.
This January I got some funds online from my write-ups and then I decided to save some. But after a few days when I felt I was craving something better to satisfy myself. I went on to order it.
Self-love is the best thing one can do for himself. No matter what, we should not be so stingy to the extent that we would not even be able to make ourselves happy. I love myself.
