Self-Love

Love is a funny thing

People tell you that love means

to give yourself to others

regardless of how you feel or

whether they deserve it

Love is unconditional

It’s not dependent on your opinion

Well, people would be right except...

backup for a minute

’Cause how can you truly love others

when you don’t even love yourself?

How can you give your love away

when you haven’t found it yet?

Love starts

within

Only once you have fully grasped

the wonder of the glorious

divinely-wrought creature

that is you

can you start to see the wonder

of your human brothers and sisters

Only once you know how

utterly

worthy of love

you are

will you know the

innate worth of every

living creature

Love is unconditional, yes

bestowed without regard for

feelings or fairness or

“do they deserve it or not”

Sometimes it’s hard,

but we do it, because it’s not about

their actions, it’s about

who they are to us

Then, why do we so easily

forget that

those rules also apply to

ourselves?
