Value of Words and Self-love: An Analysis of Najwa Zebian’s Interview

Abstract

This study probes into the realization and discovery of self-love and acknowledgment. The paradigm used for data collection is qualitative in nature and the data is analyzed through textual analysis and the theme of the study is analyzed through thematic analysis. Researchers have also used primary and secondary resources for data collection. It is concluded through the study that people can reach the state of self-love and embrace themselves for who they really are, only if they struggle to set boundaries, overcome their childhood fears, and set themselves free from external opinions and expectations. It can also be concluded that self-realization is achieved only when people build a home inside themselves, take the risk of a change within, and heal themselves completely from the inside. This study reflects upon the different struggles and stages that an individual goes through after losing themselves and their identity. It also reflects upon the internal fears, traumas, insecurities, loss, love deprivation, and emptiness that reside within an individual for most of their lives and the myth of unfolding the truth which intimately leads towards self-love.
