How many times have I done it?

Take on the suffering of someone else, thinking that I can somehow fix them?

I label myself a really goodlover.

Remember to Love Yourself First

Daria Shevtsova

I love to travel.

I love artisanal coffee.

I submerge myself in writing, reflecting on the world around me and my experiences.

This somehow brings me a sense of tranquility.

As if somehow, Im one step closer to figuring out some indescribably large puzzle.

I love meeting new people.

Only now do I realize that I fix people so that they learn to need me.

I believe in the capacity of love and the enormity of its healing powers.

I am not enough.

I am not needed.It is this that is the hardest point to acknowledge.

h

Hard to think, say, or write.

No one has needed me,enough.

I go around waving metaphorical positivity pom poms.

Believe in your strength!

All you’re gonna wanna know is that you are worthy!

In reality, I forget to say these things to myself.

I accept less than I deserve.How do I do it?

I keep living the same narrative because I have not yet chosen, to break free.

I have not chosen to live in whatever decisions build self love.

I remind myself that I am deserving of love.

I have given but I need to give more, except this time to myself.

I am a really goodlover.

I am good at loving.

This time, Im gonna choose to love myself, first.
