self love is needed

shreya patel 2010 (vadodara)



Accept yourself as a work in progress the continue
to build yourself into the person you’re dreaming to be;

the person you have all the potential to be.
accept your flaws, accept your truths. accept your past

and make light of them.
 no one can tear you down if you make peace with who you are and where you’ve been. if you are going to focus on the negative at all,
focus on turning them into positives. focus on growing.

Sometimes, often times, our minds are the scariest
place to sit. it’ll trick you into comparing yourself
to others and it’ll trick you into believing you aren’t
good enough. but you are.

You have always been and you always will be. you’re much more powerful when you believe in yourself. If you don’t love all of you, who will?
give yourself time to blossom.
-shreya.

About this poem

it is a poem on self love.What is exactly self love? Self-love means having a high regard for your own well-being and happiness. Self-love means taking care of your own needs and not sacrificing your well-being to please others. See, people who are insecure consistently feel bad about themselves. And often, they don't know how to feel better in a healthy or productive way. So they often resort to criticizing others. But in the very short-term, being critical of others makes us feel better by comparison. this poem is to show people to love themselves no matter their body shape or size,race,caste or anything. self love is important.
