SELF-LOVE IS...
Self-love is not
about the things
that feel good
it's about the pain from self-rejection
being soothed with compassion
for my human experience
It’s about validating my pain
without comparing it
to anyone else’s
it means the painful things
can be accepted and embraced
It means there isn’t pressure
that things have to be different
Things can be
just as they are
painful
and love can still be applied.
