"لا يمكنك الجلوس هناك ووضع حياة الجميع قبل حياتك وتعتقد أن هذا يعتبر حباً"
— Stephen Chbosky
Simplified Meaning:
Putting everyone else's needs first without caring for yourself can be harmful, not loving. Imagine a parent who always works, gives their time and money to the family, but never eats well, rests, or takes care of their own health. Eventually, they might get sick and can't help anyone because they are exhausted. By taking care of themselves, they stay healthy and strong, able to support their loved ones better and longer. Love means balancing care for others with self-care. If you're always putting yourself last, you're not fully showing love because you can't be at your best for those you care about. To apply this, make time for activities that relax you, set boundaries when you're overwhelmed, and ask for help when you need it. This balance helps you and makes you a better friend, parent, or partner.
