Self Love

What is self love? Is it buying yourself expensive things? Is it feeling like the most attractive person in the room? Or is it making a lot of money? Sure, these things are a great confidence booster for the ego but is it self love? For me, this WAS self love. I valued myself based on material things and always being "better". This made me feel special, more superior then others. Until one day I was sitting with myself and realized how empty I actually felt inside. How can I feel so empty and sad when I have all these beautiful things, my life is perfect, right?! No. I was sad, empty and felt like I had nothing.
