The art of loving yourself.

Maybe we were born with that destructive and yet poetic thought that if we could sacrifice ourselves, things would automatically go into place. The place we desire the most, the serenity we are all after.

There is the ultimate point when you realize that this will never be enough because that's not the answer. Most of the times the solution is to love yourself to a certain point where you feel the need to be protected from anything toxic.

Loving yourself is an art. Difficult to understand, mostly because of the infinite aspects it has. But to feel it is essential for a healthy well-being. Loving yourself is easily misunderstood with selfishness and in order for someone to prove that they are not selfish but loving, they kill the love they need to have for themselves to prove the love they have for others.

It's quite the irony because love should not kill anything. So loving ourselves is not selfish. It should have the same healing properties it has when we love someone else.

Love yourselves enough to walk out of destructive situations, and to achieve that inner peace only a form of art can cause.
