Demur Magazine - I Am In Love With Me - June 2018

It always sounds a bit shallow and egotistical when people say ‘I Love Myself.’ You’ll often hear people say ‘she is so full of herself, how can she say that?’ and some people will resent you for saying that. I was watching a video clip with Oprah on YouTube and she was talking about how she was always so scared to put herself first instead of others. She said she had learnt that you can’t pour from an empty cup which is so true. It’s so important to take care of ourselves before we even think of others and that is not in some sort of self-centred ignorant way. As many of you who read this magazine are artists and creatives within various industries, it’s easy to fall into a trap where you just want to please everyone that you start to compromise yourself and eventually you lose who you are. Well, we don’t want to see any of that around here. This issue is called ‘I Am In Love With Me’ because we want you to take action and discover how much of a great person you are to fall in love with.
