I was obsessed with people being around me when I was young, I just had to keep myself busy or I would have felt isolated.

However, I enjoyed being alone when I grew up. It became so important as me-time helps me so much focus on myself, like no other moment. It’s just like having a date with myself, to get to know what I like eating, what I like doing, what keeps me happy, and what makes me sad.

We always emphasize “love yourself” – it doesn’t mean acting willfully or not to care about others. Loving yourself is to understand the differences between ourselves and others, and therefore learn to respect ourselves as well as others to choose what we want. Love is always a life lesson, if you love yourself others will love you and accept who you are. In addition, you are the lifetime partner with yourself, please love yourself as much as you love your partner.

年輕的我喜歡熱鬧，圍繞著很多朋友與人事物，覺得一刻也不能停下來，不然我會被孤立。

只有長大後才喜歡獨處， 就是 “ Me Time ”。

“ Me Time” 變得如此重要因爲只有這刻我能好好的專注與我自己本人。就像約會，一個與自己的約會。我喜歡吃什麽，喜歡做什麽，什麽事情讓我快樂，什麽事情讓我悲傷，在 “ Me Time ”的時候好好的瞭解自己。我們常常强調要好好愛自己，這不代表要任意妄爲，或不顧及別人。只是知道與別人的差異，不勉强自己迎合讓自己不舒服的圈子，但也尊重別人的不同。愛自己從來都是一大課題，當你好好的愛自己，做自己，迎來的都會是喜歡你，欣賞你的人。自己才是你的終身伴侶，你會如何的愛你的伴侶，也請如何的愛你自己。
