Self esteem - a monument you build

My philosophy classmate Shashank helped me get to this blog.
It's such a wonderful blog.

I read so much about girls and insecurity here.
I could identify with the girl's journey.
She redefined smartness for me.
She ruthlessly leads us to love ourselves.

I am surprised that so many people, all over the world, live a life of self hatred.
How on earth did self hatred become such a common thing?
How does it start? At what age do we pick up this wrong, disastrous habit of hating oneself?

Nevertheless, I was quite impressed by Isa's writing. It touched a chord and many things she has written, resonated with my life's incidents.
I consider myself extremely lucky that I did not have any distractions in school. I finished with top grades and I got to work. If I had been caught in this maze of things, I would have died of heart break. Thank heavens for that.
