I will do love better next time
Starting with me
I will love me better
Wake up in this body
Speak prayer over it
And remember that God
Ordained me worthy
Anointed me with special purpose
Not sacrifice
I will smile wide and full
No longer biting my tongue to keep my truth from falling out
I will love me better
Discontinuing to be confused on my value
Or of what I bring to the table
When I am the home that love is held in
I will lay flowers at my feet
So that the ground is blessed twice
By something sweet
I will love me better
Pour all my effort into my dreams
Instead of into the hands of another
I will love me better
Hold myself gently
when I feel calloused by my own thoughts
when my mind is spiraling with aspects of my ego
I will remind myself that this is path of being human
I will offer myself compassion
when everyone around me has run out of it
I will cup my hands
and whisper kindness into my palms
And place them on my heart until I feel warm again
I will make sure my cup overflows
Make sure to ask no one to fill it
I will be my own mind reader and interpreter
Trusting in myself and not needing someone to invalidate the doubt in me
I will love myself better
By leaving sticky notes of encouragement on my mirrors
When I feel like I’m slipping
I will grasp whichever limb I need
to keep myself from falling
And even if I fall
I will know that loving myself
means to get back up
And I will get back up
I will make mistakes
But I will love myself enough to learn from them
I will love myself better
To love a lover better
To give and accept love
For love’s sake
I will love myself better
Because there’s no greater love than the love of oneself
Dear Self,
You are the love of my life.
This is powerful and beautiful. There is nothing more magical in this world than the love we hold for ourselves. The more we love ourselves the more we can truly be ourselves and live our purpose. Thank you for sharing and thank you for being part of The Unsealed family. <3 Lauren
Dear self, you are the love of my life! I will
Cusp my hands and whisper kindness 😍😍. I love those lines. It means everything. You’re showing how gentle you will be with yourself. Sometimes we are so hard on ourselves and it’s unnecessary. Great poem!
