a dreamer's night talks - episode 11 - on self love
In this eleventh of my nocturnal stream of consciousness, I touch on the topic of self-love. What does it mean to love ourselves? How come some of us can do it and others don’t? It all comes back to our childhood and experiences. But there are many other layers. I try to find ways to share love, and tell the people I love, that they deserve to be loved. I also touch on the importance of solidarity and be there for each other, to grow together. I dream of building a society where love is at the centre.
