The Paradox of Self-Love in a World of Emptiness
Have you ever noticed how our culture's obsession with self-love coincides with skyrocketing rates of anxiety and depression? It's a striking contradiction. While Lizzo's anthems of self-empowerment top the charts and Instagram feeds overflow with "you are enough" affirmations, many of us feel more inadequate than ever. This paradox forms the heart of "You're Not Enough (And That's Okay)," where the central insight challenges everything modern self-help preaches: the more we focus on ourselves, the more miserable we become. What if the path to fulfillment isn't found in looking inward but in acknowledging our limitations? What if our cultural obsession with self-sufficiency is precisely what's keeping us stuck?
