Happy Valentines day lovelies! So I don’t know if it’s just me but there seems to be much more frenzy for this year’s valentines day but it’s all good, I’m ready for all the cute posts :D. In as much as I love love and all that comes with it, I make sure never to forget the importance of self love and wanted to share that with you.
So I wrote this piece for me and for you. Whether you’re in a relationship or not, I hope this serves as a helpful reminder to love yourself too.
They say love is the universal key
The universal language we all understand
But how can we love others when we don’t even love ourselves
How could we possibly give what we don’t have
I can’t genuinely call you beautiful when I think I’m the ugliest
I can’t feel your pain when I don’t even recognize mine
I want to help you but I just don’t know how
So I’ll start with the reflection in the mirror
When she feels ugly? I’ll remind her she’s beautiful
When she feels dumb, I’ll remind her she’s smart
When she feels frustrated, I’ll remind her the bad times come to pass
When she feels alone, I’ll give her a hug
When she feels empty, I’ll remind her of her never ending source
So she can go out there
Go out there and be the light that she is
Go out there and spread the love that she knows
She’ll go out there and cheer others up
But only because she is her own biggest cheerleader
Because a healthy dose of self love is the best thing
The best thing they could do
Not just for themselves but also for those around them
And then they’ll go out there and help those who used to be just like her
Reminding them, using the universal language we all understand
LOVE.

This is so true. Thanks for reading!
Actually eh, just thinking about the “thin line” that is said to be between self-love and selfishness. Maybe it’s not so thin afterall 🤔
