Poetic Introduction
Loving self even through the discomfort
Find wonder in the beauty of the struggle
Looking into my soul, searching for remnants of me
Coming up empty handed too filled with trauma
Emptying what once was inner standing
Filling it with things that make me smile
Harboring trauma can leave the soul demanding
Payment for missed moments, the receipt longer than a mile
Going against the grain, burning like salt in a wound
My heart is an instrument that I have yet to fine tune
A lot of time in the darkness, praying I'd find God soon
Only realizing the light within me illuminated a portal within my womb
Releasing chakral energy, aligning them with universal flow
Unlearning and relearning habits to ensure I continually grow
Always exuding positivity because you reap what you sow
Sometimes you must be broken before you can glow
What is your Definition of Love ?
How you define love will be your experience with love.
I repeat, how you define love will be your experience with love.
Love |Noun|- An intense feeling of deep affection
Love is patient, love is kind
Love is also blind...
Love can be tarnished due to the misuse of the word when the actions don't match. It is used as a tool because when given correctly it can become addictive. It's the most expensive drug yet can't be bought. It is a natural reaction to someone appreciating who you are enough to treat you well.
But do you appreciate yourself enough to provide that same love you seek?
The key to receiving proper love is to first exhibit that love on yourself. You know what makes you feel your best or your worst. It is your job to keep around those that bring out your best and remove those that bring out your worse.
How to Self Love
Set Boundaries and Enforce Boundaries
Access your needs and meet them
Self Care
A great foundation of self love increases your chances of attracting genuine platonic and romantic love.
People that are genuine look for the good in you always highlighting that. Ingenuous people look for the bad so they can exploit it to their advantage. Knowing your good, bad and ugly traits can help you heal. Healing means being less vulnerable to manipulation and more open to authenticity.
Your job is to be your most authentic self so you
can attract the same type of experiences with love.
Love Yourself or Nobody Will
Be All About You
If you are for you, no one can be against you! That means if you stand ten toes down for yourself, it won't matter who isn't doing the same. YOU ARE ENOUGH!
Enough to weather all storms.
Enough to accommplish all goals.
Enough to heal all traumas.
Enough to be worthy of love.
It all starts with you... Self love first!
