A SELF-LOVE STORY: When I was 14 I vowed to love myself no matter what.

Once upon a time, I found my old grandmother's ring in her drawer. I asked her if she would like to wear it again. So of course I need to ask if she can have it and she says very well with "yes"

I stopped for a moment before I opened the ring and thought that the ring was sacred for some reason. I do not know the reason, but in my head, if I want to wear the beautiful old ring of my grandmother, I must do something ridiculous or meaningful before I wear it. And that is what I did.

I do not remember exactly what I said to myself, but what I can tell you is to promise that I must love myself anyway.

Especially if everyone else is doing it for you, it is easy to open yourself, criticize yourself and hate yourself. So, even if I hate myself, I swear even if others do not like me much.

Now that we are in 2017, I am 22 years old, and I have not canceled the ring yet. I sometimes watch it, wipe it with my thumb, I am thinking about my promise that I was myself. Sometimes it is difficult to keep this promise, but anyway, I do not forget to always love myself.

In this change of mindset, I pledge to love myself. When I swear I wrote these words on the back cover of my diary and stamped it as a kind of date ceremony. I concentrate on self-love and I know love for myself. That is bigger than any love I know. I can no longer give my happiness to others' hands. I am the only person responsible for my happiness. I love myself everyday, practicing 7 minutes of meditation every morning, and I am committed to expressing my psychological cycle with the sweetest word I know - I love myself .

Why "Do you love yourself" Given that I realized last year, that is self-love, which is the foundation of all other love. I can share only what I cultivated. Self-love creates self-worth. That is the basis for satisfying all my wishes. Learning to love yourself is an endlessly important effort, and it deserves at least four months a year. Why are we "loving others" because we are all mirrors of each other. The more you learn to treat strangers as brothers and sisters and spreading grace and love to them, you can spread it to certain people you care about in yourself or in my life. New York City is a perfect playground, "others" refers to something other than me.

Since I have to love myself before I love others, do other love come from self love? To really love oneself (objectively), I must be consistent. Otherwise, I love one "person" at a time, the other person hates her. But friendship does not change. As a derivative of Aristotle's idea, is this a prerequisite for using self versus self as self versus others? Or is it conceptual help? For example, if I feel someone in the way I treat myself, that person is my friend. People contradictory to their feelings have different emotions at different times and different emotions at specific times. Of course, I can feel this way to other people, but at the beginning I thought that I was always feeling good about myself because I am very kind. So, if I feel confused about other people as much as I feel about myself, I have no friends.
