Why do I love myself?
Why do I love myself?
There is that saying how can you love someone if you can’t love yourself?
Then again.
It has me thinking.
I love my family.
My friends.
Inanimate objects.
My creativity.But at one point I was an afterthought
I spent a good part of my life.
Truly not loving me.
Liking myself never felt honest, real.
Didn’t feel worthy.
I never really drew too much stock of the idea of loving me.
And deep within I thought it was just enough.
Going through life. Being just blah
Giving parts to myself, to people. Who I didn’t love.
Just because I could. It was easy.
I was doing things just to make others happy.
While it didn’t make me happy.
I lost myself in the process.Once I truly stripped myself down. To the core of me
That’s when I began to accept the fact that it’s OK.
To ask for help.
That. it’s OK.
To set boundaries.
Learn not to settle.
Be honest with yourself.My Sadness
My Darkness
My Scars
The hopes I have.
The wanderlust of my mind.
Fully understanding of who I amI began to love everything that is me.
I begin to see this light that I dimmed down for so long.Then the realization hits that loving yourself is one of the best feelings in the world.
From now until when my time is up
I will always love me.Voting is open!

aww Jazmine, I am so glad you stopped just going through the motions, and you now give yourself the love that you so deserve. I love this line “I began to love everything that is me.
I begin to see this light that I dimmed down for so long.”
I am glad you found and are stepping into your light. Thank you for sharing. Thank you for being part of The Unsealed family. <3 Lauren
