Self love

[Sa****]

"I wasn't told, taught or encouraged

about self-love, I had to love myself enough to learn how to use it.

No one wanted me

around, no one wanted to talk to me or

even know who I was. I learnt that loneliness was hard but it

gave me time to think, yes, I wanted someone special although at that time in my life I didn't believe it could be possible.

So what changed?

I changed, as much as I could. That change had to start with how I thought about everything,

I had to learn to accept, embrace and take hold of life. I had to realise that there were going to always be the things I could and could not change. At a young age we really don't know much,

someone said to me one "You don't grow a brain until 30" I felt that to be so true.

I made bad mistakes in my 20's and 30's but most of it was from a lack of knowledge.

It really does take time to learn and grow, it really does take years to be experienced in life."

"It really does take time to learn and grow, it really does take years to be experienced in life."

 

A great sentence reflecting on self growth and maturity. Perspective of reality resonates differently with age and experience.
