Everyone deserves to overflow with limitless love

No one deserves to be loved halfway, undervalued, or simply feel undeserving of love. You might think I'm talking about relationships, but I'm not. I want to talk about self-love, which we often forget about when we're busy loving someone else and waiting for them to give back what we've given away.

It's true; everything that goes out eventually comes back. And this law of return is infallible, being one of the universal laws. In this case, we may ask ourselves, "If I send out so much love, why doesn't it come back to me?" The answer lies in the simple fact that if we don't love ourselves, how can we offer something we don't have? We're giving something that isn't true love, just a love-like form that the universe, being attentive, doesn't let pass as such. That's why the return is something so different from what we expect love to be—even the love we were taught to believe is real, full of conditions, and not even that which we end up receiving.

Love belongs to no one. Love can't be stolen or taken away. Love is the energy of God; it exists in everything and everyone, is available at all times, and can be accessed anytime. Without limits, without conditions, free, light, and infinite.

Many say that loving oneself is easy, but who truly loves themselves unconditionally and entirely? Without any conditions, not even the slightest? At some point, we all dislike something about ourselves, judge ourselves, criticize ourselves... That's how we were taught to be, starting from our youngest age, by our parents, by school... We're induced from an early age to know what's right and what's wrong, to be ashamed of our "wrongdoings," to be punished and judged, which ends up making us like that with ourselves. We're demanding, punishing, and don't tolerate mistakes, imperfection, or a lack of or distance from aesthetic, intellectual, and more recently even spiritual and consciousness standards. We feel guilty all the time for not being perfect.

If we were perfect, we wouldn't be here in this plane; if we're here, it's because there's something we still need to perfect, and I believe it's the recognition of who we truly are: perfect even in our imperfections!

I'm not going to tell you to love yourself or that you have to love yourself. I'm just going to ask you to think twice before criticizing or judging yourself. Be kind to yourself; you're your best version right now, and no matter how much you can improve, you won't achieve it with futile demands on yourself. Loving yourself starts there, with the kindness we have towards our imperfections and mistakes. They're what teach us to improve; how can they be judged negatively?

When you make a mistake, be thankful. The universe gave you the opportunity to be better. In that moment, embrace yourself and congratulate yourself for that opportunity. You can do things differently the next time you have a chance; that's evolving and growing, so loving yourself comes along with our evolution, and unconditional love will only be possible, I believe, in another, less dense plane.

So, love yourself, but love yourself with the responsibility of accepting that you're a human being. Be kind to everyone, but especially to yourself.
