i never knew learning to self love was something valid;
was i allowed to put down my responsibilities, just so i could find myself?
I’ve always thought: we’re all struggling in this, we are all drowning.
One day, surely, the water will subside and I’ll be able to breathe.
It’s just a phase, it’s just the tides.
But no, you don’t wait for the water to be calm, you learn to paddle in the water. Self love is something we all have to learn, to survive.
I’ve been putting it off for the longest time; not sure if it was because I didn’t know how to go about it, or I just didn’t like the loneliness I felt while learning to swim in this big, big ocean.
As of now, I’m barely staying afloat. One more wave and I’ll be swept off.
I want to help the people around me, I want to bring them to the shore. I want to love people; but how can I do that when I can’t even save myself?
Self love is essential, self love is important. I’ll learn to fight this tide and I’ll be back for you all.
Give me time will you? This is for me and all of you.
Let’s learn together, we’ll eventually get there. I’ll see you all then.
