Learning to love someone else
Is learning to love yourself

I didn't know I was hungry
Until I offered my friend lunch

I never knew I was drowning
Until I watched my friend splashing and handed them a floatie

I didn't know I was neglected
Until I noticed my friend crying
And when they turned to me for a hug
I knew I had nobody to turn to

So why, if I held my friends with such kindness,
couldn't I do the same for myself?

Treat yourself how you'd treat a friend
You're the best friend you'll ever make
