The line you shouldn't cross
Hellluuuurrrr, I'm back again with a new gist
One thing we must all imbibe is the act of "self-love" we get lost in the whole "looking for love" thing that we forget we actually need to love ourselves first. You can't pour from an empty glass you know, how do you love someone else when you've not completely loved yourself and how do you want people to love you when even you treat yourself with contempt, remember it's the vibe you throw people catch. But then, some people who have got the gist on the whole self-love thing don't get the full gist that there's a line - a very thin line between self love and self obsession. Self love makes you love yourself and people around you, makes you appreciate yourself modestly and not spite your neighbor, self love will make you appreciate yourself and the things people do to you. However, obsession makes you feel the whole world revolves around your black ass ,makes you feel you're entitled to everything you get and always throwing your success in people's face. Your self obsession will make you lose manners and you wont even be able to say please and thank you when people do things for you, Just like my cousin always flaunts her test script in everyone's face, she feels she's entitled to being the group leader in her class and when they don't make her? She feels they cheated her. Self obsession will make you feel like everywhere on the earth is your self-contained that you can walk around as you deem fit. Your self love will make you see the fault in yourself and accept it and work towards making correction where necessary but obsession? Will make you think that's how it's supposed to be and every other person has it wrong except you. Self love will make you tell yourself "you're your own shade of beautiful" while obsession will make you tell yourself "if beauty had a face it'd clearly be yours" . You see the line? It's there but very thin. Be careful not to cross it.

ReplyDelete"You can not pour water from an empty glass"
ReplyDeleteGbam. This is a very insightful post. Some people unconsciously cross the line though.
ReplyDeleteLikeeeee. It's a very thin line.
DeleteNo one can expressly deny not to have crossed the "thin line between self love and self obsession", but then, the good thing is knowing when to retrace one's step(s). Crossing the line some times make us human beings, but retracing our steps and being modest with the excesses make us humane.
