>Maybe you have a point. I still don't believe in the "everyone deserves love" bs though
I don't say "everyone deserves love" as in "everyone should tolerate whatever everyone does forever no matter what", that would be stupid.

What I mean is that, so long as you're being responsible and trying your best to be a good person, you deserve to be treated well, including by yourself. Even if you're not where you want to be, if you're trying your best to get there, then there's no sense in shaming or hating yourself for it.

That's what love is about, being there for someone when they're trying their best to be a good person and helping them in that goal. To care for them, ensure their needs are taken care of, so that they can do good back onto the world too.

Furthermore, that means you shouldn't deny yourself comforts that actually help you feel better and make bad problems more bearable. If you know that this helps you deal with stress, then you should engage in it so you have less stress and do more good things in your life, both for yourself and others.

Anon, you deserve to be able to feel good when you know you're trying your best to be better. If you don't think you are trying your best, you still deserve a chance to make stress go away so that you aren't as overwhelmed with the things you are getting down properly so you can begin to try your best.
