The innate concept of having a partner who shows endless love for a lifetime is the ultimate goal for many. Individuals strive for this from a young age in hopes for the ‘perfect life’. Upon thinking, instead of teaching young children to find someone else to love them, teach them to love themselves. It is proven that if you experience hatred towards your own body, more difficulties arise in a relationship. Therefore, embracing flaws and differences in children will form strong, positive adult relationships . Self love can be practiced through taking time to be alone and reflect on life, choosing positive friendships and knowing that who you are is exactly perfect. In conclusion, I believe self love is the foundation for all healthy, successful relationships.
