When we are young, we thing that we will never get old. When we are healthy, we feel that we will never get sick. We don't think much about in advance, it's our nature, I guess. Or maybe we just don't want to think about it, because we are afraid, lazy, or both.
Why it is so hard to treat yourself with same kindness you would offer to your best friend?
The same, or even more, applies to forgiveness. We can easily forgive minor, often even large mistakes to other people, but we tend to find it hard to forgive ourselves anything. Or at least that's my case.

Thank you for stopping by @lifenbeauty! ^^
Somehow I wish when I was young or even as a kid, that people would have put emphases on health preservation. That there would be a program or just powerful teachers, lecturers that would put things into perspective no matter how scary they might be.
It is important to love yourself and be kind to yourself, because then you can extend that over to giving the same to others. It is a lot harder to be giving to others if you are cruel to yourself inside. Everything starts with yourself.
Yeah, it's amazing how hard it can be to accept your own flaws or forgive yourself for some mistakes, while you would easily accept or forgive those same flaws or mistakes if you found them in other people. Hell, little flaws and mistakes can sometimes even raise attraction or curiosity!
