 My mum says in order to heal you have to feel how do you make yourself more feel more worthy without the validation of other people? COVID was a really epic time to sit with yourself. I lost my job and I was studying from home and things like that. So I was spending a lot of time with myself. Honestly, that was the time I became best friends with myself. I would go on walks, I'd listen to podcasts, self-development is huge. I was journaling and that's where it all kind of started the self-love journey and when life started to pick up again I let the tools that I had then introduced kind of slip and then I started to fall deeper and deeper and deeper into more mental health issues. So I'd say the journey to self-love starts with awareness and it also starts with the will to want to change and to want to learn and to be confronted with the parts of yourself that you're afraid to see.
