I knew I needed self-love but made a huge mistake of looking for it outside.

I tried to earn love from people around me who were struggling to love themselves.

Needless to say, I was disappointed every single time when it came to love.

I thought changing myself, putting on make-up, and an expensive dress will earn me love.

But that never happened It never could happen and it never will happen.

It wasn't until the day I finally realized, that self-love started with self.

I started accepting myself, going easy on myself, and forgiving my mistakes more often.

I let myself cry when I had to I stopped blaming myself for everything wrong that happened.

I started celebrating the Real me accepting my flaws as my uniqueness and that changed everything for me.

So go and practice self-love, It truly is an art, for sure love yourself more than anyone ever could.

Hi everyone. Thank you for reading. The above poem is inspired by my real journey filled with pain and torments. There was a time when I looked for love outside instead of looking for it within myself. The day I realized I had abundant love to spare for my own self, my attempts to make people happy just to get their love and affection has reduced drastically.

It doesn't bother me that much when a person shows dislike for me. It makes me curious but doesn't upset me. That according to me is the sign of true maturity.
