Welcome Home, Love!

How selfish, irresponsible, naive I have been…..”

to not love myself enough

and yet expect others to love me,

To not gift myself on special occasions

but expect my loved ones to gift me

To think I am not lovable enough to love myself

but expect others to love me enough

To find it difficult to accept myself completely,

yet expect others to accept me for who I am

To not have understood myself enough,

but expect others to understand me

To not hear myself always

but expect others to hear me

To not be there for myself always

and have the fear of abandonment

from others

How naive!

How selfish I have been to dump my

unheard, un-understood, uncared, unloved,

unaccepted self onto others...

There came a day

this realisation dawned upon me,

I took time off right away to spend time

with myself, help myself, heal the wounds,

love myself, be there for myself,

accept myself-truly, completely, unconditionally

understand my true self

And all of it only started...

the moment I worked on forgiving myself

for being that way before that moment.

Things have slowly started falling in place since...

I understand It will take time

It was decades of

self-misuse, self-abuse,

self-gaslighting, self-abandonment...

The changes outside won't happen overnight

But that change of thought happened inside

and a domino effect is in play in progress.

WELCOME HOME, LOVE

STAY ALOVE, STAY ALIGHT.

To not love oneself is a disrespect to every bit ofUniverse,

because the Universe is you, Inside of you.

Be Love, to spread love.
