Your first fan ever//Loh#250.

You know the awesome part of this? The most incredible part is that the person has realized. That isn't an easy thing to do. Coming to the realization means lots of thoughts have been put into it, which is the most difficult part for humans because we sometimes love prefer being in denial because it is better that way.

Cutting oneself off from that claw is something worthy to be celebrated and that's exactly why I couldn't help but give my two cent about the prompt by @cautiva-30 from the Ladies of Hive community with the question;

If we realize that we should love ourselves more, yet no one teaches us how to do so, how can we begin to love ourselves? What can we do to feel better about ourselves?

Realising we are meant to love ourselves more shows we have already opened a small gap of love for ourselves. We've realized how worthy we are of love and that we are the first subject that can fill in the gap.

People who come to this realization have certain things that bring the light in their eyes. It could be painting, writing/feedback, singing, playing instruments, connecting with the inner self, shopping/gifting, knitting, traveling, and so much more. There's a lot to choose from the list to fully dive into self-love.

For me, I really like my alone time. Sitting in my bedroom alone, especially when everywhere is quiet and staring at the ceiling, the wall, and creating stories in my mind is something that really brings the spark in my eyes. I'd giggle and laugh like a possessed soul, and I like it that way. No. I love it.

_{And here's an old beauty that made my day. The beat…the fun… perfect.}

Singing and dancing are also another way I find to express the love I have for myself. Being alone, rocking my body back and forth with hands up as I wiggle my waist is a fun moment for me. Not just for that moment, but they become a memory for me.

However, the first thing I have come to embrace is trust. You have to trust yourself and accept your strengths and your flaws, your beauties, and ugliness. Acknowledging those parts of you both your inner child and adult self. I believe that's a true start for love to grow. Be the safe place you can rely on before anyone else comes into the picture.

Learning to forgive ourselves for past mistakes and opportunities lost and embracing our true self with no doubt. Loving ourselves can be easy and hard depending on our actions. That's why I believe it is best to do the things that make you happy even if others frown at it. As long as it doesn't destroy others negatively in a way that would make your conscience judge you, then you are free to make yourself happy and know that you are truly loved by your first fan ever- You.
