people assume that everyone else thinks and is
exactly like themselves- that's just a fact of life
so if you look at yourself and you see someone
selfish, foolish, broken, and hurt, when you **** up
you blame yourself for it- then when you see someone else
**** up, you assume it's because they're selfish, foolish,
broken, and hurt. But if you learn to forgive yourself,
when you learn to love yourself, and know that your
****-ups and your mistakes aren't the end of the world
then maybe you'll look upon your brother and know
that they're just another human going through the
same pains as you are, the same hard times, and that
it's not their fault, because it wasn't yours, and maybe
we're all worth forgiving. That is the worth of self-love
because it grounds you in your humanity rather
than casting yourself above or below those around you.
Self-love destroys your loneliness because when you hate yourself
you end up hating the people around you- and when you
love yourself, not only do you love the people around you
just for being who they are, but you enjoy being alone with
your own person, because you're worth it and you're beautiful
and you are someone worth loving.
