Love's in the air but tis love, many tend to overlook

Self Love

somethin that i feel is what low esteem individuals LACK.

few weeks ago, i talked to a classmate who is one of the most low esteemed individual i ever met. although a nice, helpful lad, he asked me "am i so bad?" his question took me back to one of my lab sessions in Aussieland, some of his antics there and some of the things he do. i took that opportunity to "save" him from goin deeper down that dark hole of depressin inferior feelings. his problems mainly were: he is always apologisin and try so hard to be in people's good books hopin to be accepted as their friend. one of the things i told him is he has to practise SELF LOVE. i told him, every mornin u see the person in the mirror, u say somethin good abt that person. somethin self-lovin. he asked me "sophie, is tis mental psychology thingy?" i firmly replied "YES". he had difficulty tryin to find words to describe good things abt himself when i asked to rehearse with me what he would say the next time he look in the mirror. then we discussed on how positive minds can affect our personality and bring out our confidence, even boost our health. everythin starts with YOU, YOUR OWN SELF.if u don''t feel good abt urself, not confident of urself, u keep lookin at urself in negative manners sayin "i am fat/ i am stupid/i am ugly etc." and loathe everythin abt urself, eventually everythin abt u will turn negative! and it's NOT GOOD!

Yesterday while browsin thru Mind Your Body section of The Straits Times, i stumbled upon an article abt SELF LOVE. WOW! what i spouted to that dude was spot on! even Aristotle believed in SELF LOVE and that a good person should be a self-lover [1]...but i believe EVERY PERSON SHOULD BE A SELF LOVER! there were some philosophical quotes he wrote but i can't quite remember exactly...it said somethin like friends are other selves that are an extension to ur own self! How true how true! I love his point of view on tis and that every self lovin person is not what people now perceive them to be. it is not to be mistaken with bein self conceited or narcissism. a self-lover seeks true personal goodness and aim at a virtuous life that consists not only of health and prosperity, but also of magnanimity and amiability[2]. So on tis V-Day(ok by the time tis gets published and read it'll be post V-day) i would like to reach out to all my loved ones with tis message:

LOVE URSELF EVERYDAY & BE UR OWN BEST FRIEND!

and to my Valentines, thank u for dating me over Ramly burger & Strawberry White Chocolate Latte!
