The first love, the one I wish I had learned earlier how to love and nurture, the one that people and things can add to, but ultimately, it is mine to grow.
It is the love within me, the love I give myself, the love I deserve, not equated by accomplishments or others, but rather it is the seeds that I put in it and sow.
It is the love that I have now found it, I don't want to ever forget, as it is the love that I get to choose and control. It is the one that, if I tend to, it can always hold.
I get to give it the love, kindness, and forgiveness it so deserves, but also so value my inner being, my confidence and, when I allow it, a place to rest my soul.
I choose to love myself before others, which may be contradictory to other concepts which I respect, but in my experience I need to give first within
Because I find if I love myself first, and fill my own tank with the energy it deserves, the love and kindness I give is secure and not need-based as wisdom is brought in.
If I can love myself first, then I get to dictate my worth, and my story, and my impact on this life can be highly valued because my capacity to love increases.
So hello me, I am sorry that it took me so long, but I am learning to lean into our life and love every part of you, knowing that together as we share we will fix all the broken pieces.
