Reasons To Love Yourself Novels & Stories

I throw my arms around his neck and start crying while he rubs my back before kissing the top of my head. "I will not tell you to stop crying because I know how much hatred you have been keeping in your heart and mind for yourself so cry as much as you want. You need to love yourself first that's when others will love you back." This made me cry harder because whatever he is saying, is correct. I have always hated myself for being bad at everything, for not being able to get my father's love, for causing so many problems for others but mostly for my mother's death.

I wanted to strangle him and drown him at the same time as those memories rushed through my head, it happened on the third day of drinking my grandmother's 'Cleanse' tea, and I fainted again. How can I love others when I can't even love myself? That's some cliché, but yes, it's true. I remember my mother always telling me that to truly love someone, I need to learn and try to love myself first because if I don't, someone will take advantage of me and hurt me, and all that. What I will do is let them do the same. Sigh. I stared at the words in the novel in my hand. When do I have time to do all this? What am I doing? Why does my mind drift away from where I am?

“I think it might take a while for me to adjust...” To adjust to seeing the man who constantly donates to charity as a killer. Maybe that was his penance. Mine was self-sabotage. I believed I didn’t deserve any good things. I hold El’s hands and kiss the heels of her palms. “You once asked me if I loved myself, do you remember?” El tilts her head. Her careful gaze is on me like a Mother hen. “I have the answer now.” She nods again. “I do. I love myself.” Therapy made me understand one thing. If I don’t love myself, I will never love other people the right way. I can’t pour from an empty cup. “I love the man I have become and the man I will grow to be. I deserve you, El.”

Miranda continued, "I used to think loving someone meant giving everything selflessly, without expecting anything in return. But later, I realized—" Her eyes lit up, like sunlight breaking through the clouds, spilling warmth. "You have to love yourself first. If you lose who you are, how can you possibly have the right to love someone else? "Love, to me now, isn't a necessity. After wasting six years and finally picking up my academic path again, I don't want to disappoint my mentors. And I refuse to let my own hard work go to waste. So, for me, things are good as they are."

"I may have caused a little traffic because of you." "What? That's borderline crazy. You're going to get into trouble." "Whose fault is it?" "Why are you doing this? You, of all people, are supposed to understand me. Understand why I can't take this step with you." "You are punishing me for one person's mistake. That's not fair. Making decisions without comparing two things. Unlike Seth, my heart is my driving force. If you would just make don't an effort to see me in a different light, you'd understand that I mean you no harm and my feelings are genuine."

I no longer wanted to love because I was ruined by a guy I would do anything for" He said to me "I'm really sorry to hear that but what I do know is that you shouldn't change who you are to please anyone or to let them see you differently. If you can't love yourself how you are then that means you have to focus on what's important which is working on yourself. Do some self reflection and start loving yourself before someone else" I said to him "I do love myself but I guess only on the outside because the Malcolm I used to be, would have never tried to end someone's relationship" He said to me

She couldn't afford to let her guard down completely, especially when it came to someone like Lucian, whose motives remained unclear. Krystie had to remind herself most of the time to remain focused, more so the times when her heart would beat faster when in Lucian's presence, she denied her heart the will to warm up to him because eventually, she would only end up hurting herself, he would never love her even if she were to force herself on him, so she had to take the precautions before the fall.

It's a habit of mine that's very helpful especially if you're on your own, and also because you know that you can't always lean to the people that promised to always be by your side.

You face life's challenges that the universe throws at you. And that's okay. That's fine. That's how it goes. I define it as self love, as part of growing up.
