Just a little self love will cure you

We sit around in corners, thinking how messed up we are as individuals

We quiet ourselves so much, judging the image we see in the mirror every single day

We slam our mornings with doubts, our evenings with regrets

Without even pausing for a second

To notice all those tiny, tiny goodness in who we are as a whole

The way our eyes crinkle when we laugh at something mushy

The way our lips curl when we feel a blush coming up

The way our hands tingle when we accomplish something for the day

The way our stomach giggles when we see orange and pink patches at 5 in the morning

The heat we give out to the world

The peace we contribute

The breath of new day we share

The big heart we don't bother leaving for others

We are beautiful

We are wonderful

Yet we overlook that part 

For expecting too much from a bubbling water

From a blossoming flower

From a growing, learning you

So today I am telling you this

That tiny scratch on your forehead

Those bushy eyebrows

Your small height

Your wide hips

They make you who you are supposed to be

Bold 

Pretty

Strong 

Alive

So hold on to that

Hold on to who you are

And never, never let it go
