A huge part of self love  is  not just loving the good  and lovable part of ourselves but its about accepting our flaws as well. It is difficult to do so in a society that bashes imperfections.  Some of these insecurities are being to thin, too fat, too tall or too short.Our imperfections are part of who we are as individuals, loving one's self  has to start with asking , who am I? Why do I love me? These questions are important in evaluating who we truly are because guess what, our insecurities makes us different and unique from everyone. Insecurities play a big role in how we view ourselves and our interaction with others.
