Valentine’s Day is already here, and some people are having a hard time loving themselves. Some people have a hard time understanding that you can’t fully love someone else until you fully love yourself, every single part of you. So, I asked some of my fellow writers and friends what songs they listen to when they want to love themselves, and then I combined them in this list, enjoy.
