Finding unconditional self-love amidst our most turbulent states
I am the wolf in sheep’s clothing.
I am me, myself and I loathing.
I am me, myself and I gloating.
I am me, myself and hurt.
I am destructive.
I am the night that stalks the day.
I am the knight who loves to slay.
I am the path out of no way.
I am destructive.
I am the one who clipped your wings.
I’ll make you choose to sink or swim.
My game is rigged, you cannot win.
I am destructive.
Yet,
my unconditional self-love speaks:
Today is a bad day.
But you cannot love yourself halfway.
Beautifully
agathokakological,
Embrace both your good and your ‘bad’
Because it takes your two hands
To shape your heart. (Pause)
Take your time. Embrace your humanness.
I cherish you, always. You are not alone.
Broken, vulnerable, flawed –
Such feelings are more than okay.
You never have to earn my love.
Your joyful spirit requires no
prerequisites.
Be complete and uncompromised in who you
are.
Be. Imperfectly perfect.
Thoughts
of the week: What is unconditional self-love? Are you afraid of what others may
say or think if you practice unconditional self-love? Do not to allow the opinions
of others to deter or define you. | Be cool with who you are right now (reading
and seeking to improve yourself). Feel your emotions. Embrace them without
judgment. Just try to understand them and where they come from. And when you
do, appreciate that space inside of you that allows you to feel and be open to
allowing your unconditional self-love to dwell there as a local and not just as
a tourist. Welcome home.
