Love Yourself the Way You Are 12. Love Yourself the Way You Are We all want to love ourselves, but a lot of us just don’t know how to love ourselves, so we look for love in other people or things. We look for love in all the wrong places. But the truth is, you can’t find that love in anyone or anything. You can’t expect someone else to fill the void in your life that isn’t filled with your love for yourself. Self-love is a choice and a commitment to yourself that you are going to love yourself no matter what.
