Hello Buddies... ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmRc898hei5f8ZGWraQMJPoVeAyRRz17m9yPDhPiBbsWFY/img_1215.jpeg) Have you ever felt like you have to change yourself for someone else? Or do you think you're doing better things just because you want good things for yourself? Simply put, self-love and self-respect. Recently, a thread appeared on social media suggesting that some changes and treatments are only about "attracting a man." This is clearly a worthless movement. As a teenager, I might have thought that way. I could have forced my parents to support me in "self-care" and "generating feminine energy" for other men, but fortunately, as a teenager, I couldn't do that. So, when I thought about "self-care," it was for myself. For example, I just got my first facial at age 30, and I also thought about the position of my teeth, which turned out to be quite complicated. At this age, braces were a popular thing to do. I didn't know the exact price of braces back then—I assumed they were expensive, so I never asked my parents for them. I don't know, but I used to ask my parents for anything other than self-care. Maybe it was because I didn't want to attract anyone's attention, so I didn't put in the effort. Now I do, taking care of myself with the salary I earn from hard work, with the goal of self-love and self-respect, of course. It feels good to be able to fulfill a wish I once had—with money you earned yourself. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmaK4TGVQYfTMqvFc4stpkBEc7mWum8nCQQhZWdhuzt6o9/img_1168.jpeg) This might seem like a show-off and a pick-me-up, but what I'm trying to convey is that you simply need to do things for yourself. There's no need to sacrifice yourself for anyone or anything else. There's no need to expect anyone to respect and love you. Do whatever makes you happy. Even if you're not single anymore, you should still prioritize yourself. ***Hasta La Vista...*** ------- *Thanks in advance, to read my blog and hope you like my post!* *See you on the next post...* ----- -------

Vivie Hardika _{Hi, Halo, Annyeong! Welcome to my galaxy.} _{I have so much imagination in my head. Something that I can't achieve as a human and as a girl. So writing is very challenging. Since Junior High School, I have written whatever I want to write. Without skill, I just write what I want to read. Now I have 12th published novels and all of those are romance.} _{Yeah, I proudly say that I am a passionate author, traveler wannabe, and blogger.}
