Many women, conditioned by societal expectations, often discover the art of self-love later in life. Raised to prioritize the needs of others, they become champions at nurturing and caring for those around them, often neglecting their own well-being. This learned selflessness can inadvertently lead to a lack of confidence and a delayed recognition of their intrinsic self-worth.
However, one little girl has learnt the act of self-love quite early in life and honestly, way to go! Her mother took to X (formerly Twitter) to share an essay that she wrote. The topic that was given to her was ‘My Favourite Person’ and the girl wrote about herself! Even though her mother was secretly hoping that she would write about her, discovering that her little girl wrote about herself made her so proud.
“I like myself because I was a very good anchor in sports today. I like myself I am independent. I like to shout a lot. I like to draw. I am very very impatient. I cannot wait wait in the bus. I want to reach school in a second. I ooh and and aaah at dinosaurs history because it is most interesting,” her essay read.
Have a look:
“The prompt was to write about your favorite person. And my daughter picked herself. (I was secretly hoping she would pick me and was prepared to be jealous of anyone else she picked but this is better than I imagined),” the mother wrote on X.

Love this!! Please preserve this and frame it and give it to her on her 18th birthday or something 🙂 I hate to think of all of us women who started out as confident little girls with healthy self-esteems – until society stamps that out and replaces it with imposter syndrome

I pray from the bottom of my heart that she retains this level of self-love forever and ever. 💛💛💛
