The great band Beartooth has an awesome new album coming out entitled, The Surface. One of the songs on the album they have released already is “Might Love Myself” and is incredible. In a press release about the album, Beartooth’s Caleb Shomo said, “This album is the story of my beginnings in the new world I’ve created for myself. One focused on health, self love, positivity, understanding, hard work, and most of all second chances. At the end of the day, life is short for all of us. We can’t escape the end, so why not make friends with it and live in a world focused on living a personally fulfilling life.” In fact I just blogged about our need to prioritize our own needs, desires, and interests in Selfish Or Self-Centered. I believe C. S. Lewis would have greatly appreciated the lyrics of this song. I know I do!

In “Might Love Myself,” Caleb sings, “I’m exactly who I wanna be.” That is a great place to be. Loving ourself means having a deep appreciation and acceptance for who we are as an individual. It involves recognizing our worth, embracing our strengths and weaknesses, and treating ourselves with kindness and compassion. It also means prioritizing self-care – our own well-being. Loving ourselves involves us taking care of our physical, emotional, and mental health. Ultimately, to love myself means believing in my own values and my deserving of happiness and fulfillment. Do you love yourself?
