I love me more

You only have one true love. Pick wisely.

Tinder, Bumble, Hinge- All places to find true love.

But if you are chasing to find love on dating apps, who is chasing to find love in you?

We are too busy learning and falling in love with other people but never take that same amount of time and effort in ourselves.

It's human nature to find a suitable mate to procreate and continue the cycle.

It may be in the human nature but we now live in a time where the human population is about 8 billion people.

Meaning procreation isn't really a necessity anymore as it once was.

Science and health care also play a big role in this as well,

Meaning we have a better understanding of how the repuductive systems work.

Freezing eggs and sperm for a back up plan.

Giving us more options and time- how is this even relevant?

It's relevant because this means no one has an excuse to not take the time to love themselves and get to know yourself.

You will argue you live with yourself daily, it's your life but do you really know yourself?

I bet you can tell me all about that girl or guy you love so much like it's nothing,

You can say it with easy like breathing and riding a bike,

But can you answer the same question about yourself?

Tell me about you,

I don't want to know about your favourite colour, I want to know you as a person.

I want to know who you are.

Instead of chasing someone else to love, how about you love you.
