“It is not selfish to think first about yourself; it is necessary to do so.”

To be able to love yourself in the way you actually deserve it can be challenging.
Even if people say that loving yourself is equal to selfishness, well, bare in mind that it’s not like that at all.
To love yourself is primordial because this is the only way in which you could learn how to love the one sitting next to you. You need to know how love feels in order to give love.
So this is why self-love is so important.
