Waking up in the morning
Instead of making my bed
I go to look in the mirror
Smiling I call myself beautiful
After getting ready, I stare at my reflection
For a long while
Ending with complimenting myself on how good I look
Everyday whatever I do
I tell myself good work
I know I worked hard
So there's no reason I shouldn't pat myself in the back
Because I know I'm the only one who can do this
When asked who do I love?
I roll my eyes to answer of course its me
They laugh at my serious response
Some call me a narcissist
Judges call me egoistic
Critics call this my vanity
But I know I'm only loving myself
And that makes them all speechless
Manicure and Pedicure
Makeup and getting dressed up
They ask if Im going somewhere?
I reply I'm going on a date with myself
Its not compulsory to get ready for others
I can dress up for myself too
This is called taking care of yourself
Talking to strangers
Giving a presentation
I have no problem
Because I believe in myself
Even when things go wrong
I do not stress
Because I trust myself
When I look at myself with love
I can see all the potential that was hidden before
Behind the walls created by others
But now I can see that warm sparkly aura
Thats filled with love and happiness
But when the night comes crawling in
And I'm alone in my bed like a scared little girl
All the worries and anxiety
That was being ignored by me
Come rushing inside my mind
All my fears fills me with regret
But I smile, taking a deep breath
Knowing that I am imperfect yet beautiful
No one gets me like I do
Feeling loved by myself
I close my eyes to sleep

Do you guys think that this is exactly what she should have been focusing on since the beginning? The positives! From the start she kept pitying herself, felt sorry for herself but would let the tide take her wherever without making an effort to go in the direction where she wants. Making an effort for yourself matters a lot! Others won't step in to do it for you. You have to do it for yourself! ❤️
And of course there are times that everything's not okay, when you're on the brink of giving up, but believing in yourself, in your dream, in what you are and who you are, gives you hope and strengthen to endure everything! ❤️❤️❤️
