Learn to love yourself—embrace brightness and let go of melancholy. Even if a loved one drifts away, do not waste your efforts chasing footsteps that cannot stay. Look back and realize that although life has many forks in the road, it is still filled with flowers and greenery. Even if you face a hopeless romance, do not let it negate the essence of love. Brewing a cup of tea, lighting a lamp, and writing down your inner reflections can be a beautiful experience in itself. Women truly must learn to love themselves. Every woman is like a flower: some possess the opulence of a peony, others the shy beauty of a rose, and some the purity of a lily. Regardless of your kind of beauty, you must learn to cherish and protect yourself.
Women need to practice self-love. Do not anchor your entire existence to a man; even if he loves you deeply, an overwhelming amount of devotion can become a burden. Do not lose yourself in the pursuit of loving him, for often, a partner would rather see you loving yourself. Furthermore, instead of constantly judging a man's character, take time for self-reflection as well. This is not to suggest that men are never at fault, but rather to encourage a balanced perspective on relationships and oneself.
