[…] when this happens, you may become so fixated on the issue that you forget to take the time to be kind to yourself. This often leads to self-neglect, depression, and other negative effects that cause more harm. […]

In reply to readingwithjessica. I think since we just know our whole selves, it's so much easier to judge our good with our bad. With other people we only see the bit they show us, and so we tend to see the good in them! I'm working towards being kinder to myself, and I hope you're on that journey too! thank you so much for reading and commenting :) xx

In reply to Marie. I'm trying to be kinder to myself too, and while it's extremely hard, i can definitely say that I've been improving. We'll get there together. Thank you so much Marie :) xx

Those photos are GORGEOUS!!!! I can't even lol!!! I totally agree with you. Why are we are own worst critics??? You'd think we would root for ourselves but it's just not the case sadly.

Oh Melina I love this post. I can relate to it all, too, so badly even if I wish I didn't ahah. I'm always so, so much harder on myself than I am on other people and I don't know why I keep on expecting so much more of myself than of others. I'm really trying to be kinder on myself this year and, even if I'm not always successful, I guess it's a slow process. Getting there, you'll get there too. You're amazing and so inspiring. x

I think I'm hard on myself but I'm getting better at letting things go. We all make mistakes and it's good to try to be forgiving of ourselves the way we would of others! I'm still learning x

In reply to Zoë. That's such a good way to think about it. Who knows us more than we know ourselves. Not only that, but there are people we will never know completely. We are constantly changing, and so we are constantly getting to know them. Thank you so much for reading and commenting love :) x

Ahh I love this. I reckon I am hardest on myself because unlike others, I know the good and bad in me, and I think I deserve to feel and be treated that way. Obviously that's not true, no one is perfect, but the way other paint themselves out to be, make you feel like you aren't as good as person. In reality however you never know absolutely everything about one person. xx
