So far we have all heard many arguments about; "Love yourself" or "I like myself" -that kind. But, for a moment, and think again, do we really love ourselves? If yes, then why do we all hide our shortcomings and scars so far against those around us?

Why do we all need filters and edits before we upload or post our images on social media or whatever?
Aren't we inferior, and doubt ourselves? Why do we want the approval and acceptance of others for "Our Own Lives"?

Two days ago I re-opened the FB which I had long left. I read a post on FB with the contents: "The most important relationship in your life is with yourself". This simple line, has a large and deep meaning that explains everything. First of all you have to accept and love yourself. because "you" is everything in your life.
And if we understand and love ourselves, then only you can love and understand others and maintain healthy relationships. As they say, "Love yourself first and then you can love others".

However, aren't we all wearing masks so far, to hide wrinkles, scars, pores, and skin tones? Photoshop mask, editing, lights and filters to cover your identity.

I know we all do it, in fact I have often done it in the past. But, I really never thought about it, why do we do this. If we accept and love ourselves as we are, we will not do it. In fact, we will love those scars and wrinkles. because this is natural without covering up.
Everyone talks about the beauty of nature and simplicity, but even then we hide it behind filters and so much makeup. Only for the sake of approval and acceptance or attention of others? If not, why do we all do it?

In my opinion, we need to accept ourselves as we are, and let others love us for it. That way, they will love us for who we are rather than for our appearance. And that's very good because the appearance will fade, but even the people we love will love us / or be self-conscious.

We need to realize and accept ourselves, because it doesn't matter if the community or other people don't like you or accept you, but it's not good not to accept yourself. Because your relationship and your life are first with "you" then with other things, people and relationships.

So, fall in love with yourself, with that lack and scar.
