Learning to Like Yourself

Makayla May

If you've ever felt behind in your own life, unsure of who you're becoming, or quietly exhausted by the pressure to have it all figured out-this book is for you.

Learning to Like Yourself is a gentle, honest guide to self-acceptance during the uncertain years of your twenties. It isn't about fixing yourself or chasing a better version of who you should be. Instead, it's about learning how to sit with who you are now-with more patience, compassion, and understanding.

Through reflective insights and grounded encouragement, Makayla May explores what it means to make peace with comparison, self-doubt, changing timelines, and the uncomfortable in-between. This book offers space to slow down, let go of unrealistic expectations, and begin building a kinder relationship with yourself-right where you are.

You don't need to be more accomplished, more confident, or more certain to be worthy of care and acceptance. You're allowed to be a work in progress.

This book is for anyone learning to trust their own path-and to like themselves while they're still becoming.

About the Author

May, Makayla: -

Makayla May writes for people who feel behind, overwhelmed, or quietly unsure if they're doing life right. As the second oldest of eight kids, she learned early how to be responsible-and later how exhausting that can be. She lives with severe anxiety, an ongoing financial learning curve, and a strong preference for solitude, books, and staying home whenever possible.

Makayla holds a bachelor's degree in communications, though she jokes she'd happily become a hermit if it were financially viable. She's a famously distracted driver (blame car karaoke and emotional reactions to Midnight Burger), a devoted reader, and someone who believes self-acceptance doesn't require having life figured out first.

Her writing is honest, compassionate, and rooted in the belief that you're allowed to still be learning.
