¿Seguirías amándote si dejaras de ser especial? | Marc Snuffy

Day eight, saying the best philosophical quotes from anime until reaching one million followers. Will you be able to love yourself when others stop seeing you as a genius? This phrase hits hard because it speaks to something on which many people build their entire identity. To be admired while you excel, while you are good at something, while

people applaud you. It's easy to feel that you're worth a lot because you receive attention, you receive recognition, and little by little you begin to believe that your value depends on continuing to be that impressive version of yourself. But then comes the day you fail, someone surpasses you, or you simply stop shining as before,

and that's when the real question arises. If you cease to be special to others, are you still valuable to yourself? This is the hard part about this phrase, because it forces you to think about whether you truly love yourself or if you only love the version of yourself that receives applause. We all want to be

seen, we all want to feel important, but if your self-love depends entirely on the admiration of others, then it is not self-love, it is borrowed approval and the approval of others can always leave. That's why, perhaps, maturing isn't just about becoming someone extraordinary. Perhaps it also involves learning to keep believing in yourself, even on days when

no one sees you as a genius.
