Hey Everyone!
We all have heard many a times that “love yourself” or “I love myself” sort of things. Right? But, take a pause, and think again, do we actually love ourselves? If yes, then why are we all hiding our flaws and scars?
Why do we all need those filters and editing to be done before we upload or post our pictures in social media? Aren’t we cheating on and doubting ourself? Why do we want others’ approval and acceptance for “Our Life”?
I remember a line, I read on social media a few days back, “The most important relationship in your life is with yourself”. This simple line, has a great and deep meaning which explains it all. You first need to accept and love yourself because “You” are everything in your life.
And if you understand and love yourself, then only you can love and understand other people and maintain a healthy relationship. Right? As they say, “Love yourself first and then you can love others”.
Aren’t We All Wearing A Mask
From the heading of this section you might think “only two faced people wear a mask”. But, aren’t we all wearing a mask, to hide our wrinkles, scars, pores and skin tone? The mask of photoshop, editing, lights and filters.
I know we all do it, even I have done many a times. But, I really never thought of it, why we actually do this. If we accept and love ourselves the way we are, we won’t do it. In fact, we would even love those scars and wrinkles because these are natural things.
Everyone talks about that natural beauty and simplicity, but even then we hide it behind the filters and so much of make up. Just for the sake of others’ approval and acceptance or attention? If not, then why are we all doing it?
In my opinion, we need to accept ourselves, the way we are and let people love us for that. That way, they will love us for who we are rather than for our looks. And that’s really good because looks will fade away, but even then our loved ones will love us.
Self Realization
Today, actually I saw a video by Priyanka Chopra, an Indian actress, which made me realize that somewhere we are doubting and hating ourselves for the way we are. So, we hide ourselves behind those filters.
We need to realize and accept ourselves, because it’s okay if the society or other people don’t like you or accept you, but it’s not okay to not accept yourself. Because your relationship and your life is first with “you” then with other things, people and relations.
So, just fall in love with yourself, with those flaws and scars. This life is really beautiful even with those scars. Always remember that, “Every rose has its thorn”. So, just love yourself and live a carefree life :)
Yours
Happy Soul
