Having a breakup opens the door for overthinking, which makes you question your self-worth. Here’s why falling back in love with yourself is important. So, let’s delve into learning to love yourself again!
Time, circumstances and life hurl different hurdles at us. At times we feel like we are top of the world and the very next moment we are there kissing the dirt. Through these ups and downs, we have relationships, ambitions, hopes, love, hatred, darkness, light, and many more things accompanying us.
Sometimes we fail to fulfill expectations and sometimes we fail to reach the goal, the journey is never smooth. In this journey, we put extra effort to hold on to a relationship we are letting ourselves fall into a toxic relationship.
At this very moment, we start to fall out of love with ourselves. When we have no love for ourselves our mood and happiness depend on others. Our self-worth gets dependent on that other person. We are scared to lose that other person, we fear to even think of the life that lies after the end of the relationship.
