Self Love
Location
I am surrounded by people
who are filled with all types of emotions
and thoughts and opinions and beliefs
I know about the things that they love
because they talk about it every single day
about how they love their boyfriend or girlfriend,
their mum, their dad, brother or sister,
their cousin, aunt, uncle, grandparents.
How much they love to read or write,
play sports, go on walks, or animals
and nature and food and shopping.
I would see their eyes light up
as they go on and on. But of course
there are the dark days where they
never seem okay and I want to know
what is wrong.
Normally it's "I hate my life" or "I hate my ...."
But they had just went on about all the things
that they love in their life.
And I finally figured it out,
that they need to love themselves
before anything else in order to truly be happy.
