I believe that self-love is meant to have different definitions to different people. How you interpret what self-love is, is going to depend on many factors including; how you were raised, your values, your relationship status and where you are in your healing journey. This is where the “self” comes in, not only is self-love about learning how to love yourself but it is also an extremely personalized experience that will never look the same to every person. This is the beauty of self-love, it is love that we get to decide how it shows up in our world.

The changes in this picture are subtle to our eyes but massive to our subconscious. We are conditioned to always want to look a little different, because how could a society that profits off our insecurities survive if we loved ourselves?

Unconditional self love will never be achievable until we free ourselves from the conditioning of what we are supposed to look like, how we’re supposed to act and who we are supposed to be that has been instilled in us since the day we were born.
