'learn_to_love_yourself_first'
It's
an
easy
enough
thing
to
say
,
but
really
,
where
do
you
start
when
even
the
people
telling
you
this
will
,
in
a
heartbeat
or
less
,
turn
around
and
provide
you
with
examples
of
why
you
don't
and
reasons
why
you
shouldn't
?
How
do
you
do
it
when
you
can't
find
a
reason
yourself
and
nobody
else
will
give
you
one
either
?
How
do
you
manage
it
when
a
jury
of
your
peers
has
convicted
you
of
being
essentially
more
trouble
than
you
are
worth
?
And
if
you
really
think
self
-image
is
born
and
resides
in
a
vacuum
away
from
how
others
perceive
or
react
to
you
,
than
yu
have
a
set
of
issues
all
your
own

unhinged
but
if
it
was
the
small
part
of
me
worth
saving
that
i
saw
in
others
that
made
me
cling
deep
into
like
barbed
wire
on
the
jaws
of
the
venus
fly
trap
of
my
heart
?
that
it
was
myself
that
i
loved
in
others
.
my
pain
that
i
wanted
to
wash
away
.
because
no
one
else
should
ever
cry
these
shattered
glass
tears
that
sting
and
bleed
on
their
way
down
.
it
was
the
pieces
of
me
in
you
that
i
clung
to
like
a
pit
bull
in
for
the
kill
.
you'll
have
to
shoot
me
in
the
head
to
get
me
to
let
go

how
do
you
"
learn
"
to
love
yourself
?
am
i
really
that
bad
that
I
have
to
"
learn
"
how
to
love
me
?
can't
I
just
love
myself
because
I
want
to
?
can't
I
just
hate
myself
because
I
want
to
?
it
doesn't
seem
as
though
it's
really
a
learning
process
;
more
of
a
choosing
process
.
you
must
choose
to
love
yourself
.
but
as
of
right
now
,
this
is
not
something
i
have
chosen
to
do
.

people
sometimes
forget
how
to
love
themselves
and
when
you
lose
that
sense
of
yourself
,
getting
it
back
can
feel
impossible
