Love!

Why is self love learnt much later when we had to learn that the first?
Why is loving someone else or something else comes first when it had to be ‘me’ first?
Such a long battle! Never ending battle!
Why do I have to tie my wings yet, when I just learnt to fly?
Why is freedom a myth when that is the reality of life.
Why can’t I run in the open fields, smell the wildflowers, wish upon a dandelion or taste the wild whenever I want to?
Why am I obligated to fulfill someone else’s wish when all I wish for myself is nothing!

Self love I tell you!
I love myself in ways nobody can imagine
I adore myself in ways I can’t even explain
I make myself happy like no one ever can

Then why?
Why self love is learnt so much later?

Embracing my skin My scars My body My flaws My vulnerabilities My imperfections was a long road.
But guess what?
I now love myself more than ever. Every minute every second I love myself more than before.

Yes sometimes I do need someone to be around. Someone to care for me. Someone to love me. Someone to talk to. Someone to cuddle with. Someone to just share my silence.
But most of the times, I am so content with myself.
I am most comfortable person I can be with. I am the most lovable i know. I am the most caring person I’ve come across.
Was that easy?
No! Not at all!
It took me battles to fight. Wars to win. Conflicts to resolve.
But at the end, here I am, with the most beautiful and a super human being.

Isn’t that we all need? To love ourselves more than anything else. To know ourselves before knowing others. To understand ourselves to understand others?!

Funny how the world works!
Do that do this. Complete education. Get a degree. Bag a job. Marry a man. Have kids. Raise a family. DIE!

Hey but wait! Where’s the time for myself? Where is the syllabus to know myself? Where is the curriculum to fall in love with myself?

My vulnerabilities, hide it.
My flaws, don’t flaunt it.
My imperfections, sabotage it.
My scars, paint it.
My body, cover it.
My tone, tune it.
My words, watch it.

Woah! Tired! Tired by living the life that I didn’t chose.

But hey, it’s okay. You are beautiful and you will forever be beautiful without anyone’s validation.
Cuz at the end of the day, you are the one whom you are going to be with.
And your validation is all that matters!

Let’s love a little more each day. Let’s embrace the mess we are everyday. Let’s fall head over heels for souls.
Let’s love and spread love!
🖤
