The Fragile Heart
My thesis examines the experience of low self-esteem and its effects on a person's daily life. By portraying low self-esteem in this manner, I hope that others will recognize their own situations through an emotional connection. Acknowledging these feelings is vital for gaining a more objective perspective on oneself and is the first step toward personal improvement. 

This subject is important not only to me but also to many others. Stemming from influences throughout one’s childhood to even the basic structure of society’s culture, low self-esteem can have varying impacts on one's life. The feelings brought on by low self-esteem might overwhelm a person or, in the worst of circumstances, be a barrier that prevents one from even taking action. By aiming for personal improvements in this area, one’s quality of life will inevitably improve.
