“You do not crave partnership, you crave connection and because you have not given it to yourself, you search for it in all the wrong places in pursuit of immediate gratification from another person.”

Honest Book Review
Back with another outstanding review. This book is kind of motivational, and I personally recommend everyone read it. Buy Yourself the Damn Flowers by Tam Kaur is the one I am going to discuss today. I don’t know who needs to listen to this, but the kindest thing you can do for yourself is forgive yourself for the mistakes. Humans make mistakes, but the most important thing is to accept them and improve.
Let’s discuss the book details. The first part of the book tells about self-care and self-love as the two different meanings. Self-care can be seen as the idea of taking care of yourself, your needs, your hair, your skin, how you look, how you feel, etc. The author presents the idea of self-love as loving the idea of or the perception of who you are. Sometimes we are too busy seeking validation from others and doing the things so that people perceive us as good people, and we forget ourselves.The author also has a different perspective on dealing with the most horrible things you have experienced in life.
The author says that pain is not personal, like if you treat it as the most horrible thing and get stuck there, you can never get out of it. There are some tips and tricks to solve this situation. Like writing all the troubles you have experienced one by one and writing what you have learned from that. This could help you better understand how the world relates to your experiences that make you a better person.
