There is one question we should be asking ourselves during this reflective time of the year: what about ourselves? Should we not first and foremost care about us and love ourselves, before trying to give someone else our full attention? The saying goes, you have to love yourself first, in order to love someone else. Singer and actress Zendaya stresses the importance of self-love and how important it is to appreciate oneself. In an interview with the magazine New You she explains: “No matter what you´re dealing with, it´s so much harder and more draining and so much more exhausting to be constantly pretending to be something that you´re not“. She is telling us to just be ourselves, because it would simply be a waste of time to long after some ideal, that isn’t you.
