Reasons To Love Yourself First

Self-love is the greatest form of love. This is what we can only do because nobody will and this is also what most people lack because they have given all their love and attention to someone else. In our generation now, we focus all our attention to the person we like because we are afraid that they will leave us if we don’t. For me, I think it has become very easy for people to change their feelings for someone and leave that person for another. I experienced being left alone by the person I like just because I didn’t love them enough. Neither did he know that I gave all my love to him that none was left for me. I was devastated at that time which is why I learned an important lesson which was to love myself first before loving anyone else and not to give all my love to them.
