Why Do I Love Myself?
I love myself cause God first loved me
I love myself because I didn’t like the old me .
I love myself because I am my longest commitment
But to love myself ain’t all rainbows and butterflies
To love myself means
to lose myself over and over again —in the processI love myself because no one else was up for the challenge
I love myself because I wanna love you better and I can’t without it
I love myself because home should feel safe, freeing, and calming
I love myself because I don’t wanna keep on running
I love myself because I don’t need instant gratification
I love myself because I’m willing to wait and sacrifice for all things meant for me
I love myself because I owe it to myself to say goodbye to the old me
I love myself because I don’t wanna be 35, partying & hoeing
I love myself because I know what I want & I’m determined to work hard & go get it
I love myself because I can apologize when I realize of my wrong doings
I love myself because Depth — is hard to find
& Superficial — is depressing and boring
I love myself because Ik I don’t know it all
& Im willing to continue learningI love myself because I love the world around me
I love myself because I’m humble and loving
I love myself because I want to give back & show my appreciation & gratitude to the one who
—despite my imperfections & flaws—still chooses to love me ❤️🙏🏽
These are some of the reasons why
I love me

Your writing is so heartfelt and so authentic. Your love is powerful. This line stuck out to me a lot “I love myself because I’m willing to wait and sacrifice for all things meant for me” I love that. Your love for yourself will take you to people and places beyond your wildest dreams. Thank you for sharing and thank you for being part of our family. <3 Lauren

Beyond Me,
That was/is very beautiful, impressing, and I actually am trying to write one about me loving myself-just having a hard time…Because I don’t love myself. But all you beautiful artists are encouraging/inspiring me to do so, so thank you from the bottom of my heart, God Bless, and I’m sorry-But I wish I could be with someone like you. I’ve already said some of the same things in the poem I’m working on about loving myself, as you have said in yours. I honestly never knew there was people out there like me. I hope I didn’t just mess up any like company writing policy or anything. I’m a desperate/ hurting heart, please don’t be offended-just be as you are…very Blessed!
Sincerely-Timothy

I’ve just honestly never had so many thoughts, feelings and emotions to deal with as I do now-and I don’t know how to process them all.
