When I was young

when I was younger I really cared what people thought of me and I was always looking for validation, and now I see that as long as I love myself, I will be okay.

when we are young we usually think what other person is thinking about us then we grow up get responsibilities andthink we don't give a damn about what other people are thinking of us then finally we get old and we spend our lives thinking no body thinks about us. inreality nobody thinks about no one. if that person is thinking something then he must be thinking what others are thinking about them.lol..:)

Very true! When I was young I thought all i need is love of someone else. Then I realized I should give myself what others cannot give me. And years later I feel so much better!

Wise words it took me a very long time to learn this lesson.

It doesn't comes natural as a young person because it's hard to love our own self, it's harder than being good/loving others. But at the same time you think, how can you love others if you don't even love yourself?

I strongly agree with this!! Even when you have no one to lean on, you have yourself and your faith
