it is not easy to love oneself
why?
we have to give up all the labels we have struggled with for: “forever”
we have to redefine ourselves
we have to take courage to believe we are someone of worth
we have to strip ourselves of illusion
we have to find joy in who we are
we have to believe in ourselves
we have to trust ourselves
no one can do it for us
no one can tell us we are good
we have to do if for ourselves
we have to walk our life
we have to take the steps
the ultimate courage
to take responsibility for who we are
and allow ourselves to feel
to feel hurt
to feel joy
to feel pain
to feel lost
to feel want
to feel sorrow
to feel grief
to feel response
to feel wonder
to feel delight
to feel love
for
ourselves
no matter
the outcry of the masses
no matter
the distinction of a few
no matter
what anyone says to you
believe in you
you have worth
English: Projected density plot of a redshift z=2.5 dark matter halo from a cosmological N-body simulation. The visible part of the galaxy (not shown in the image) lies at the dense centre of the halo and has a diameter of roughly 20 kiloparsecs. There are also many satellite galaxies, each with its own subhalo which is visible as a region of high dark matter density in the image. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
