SELF-LOVE IS LOVING YOURSELF
NEVER READ IT AS SELFISH.
Most often, from an unexpected fall
from the grace to an atrocious pit
of the destiny,
you learn to keep and discard;
you learn to love and unlove
and ultimately,
you learn to unlearn
and unbecome!
It is then you realize,
there is a self in you
who deserves your attention
more than anything else in the world.
And like any other precious thing,
you fall in love with it
only on the verge of losing it.
Self-love is maturity.
It is a gracious transition
of growth, reversion and regrowth.
Love yourself, wholeheartedly!!
