When I started to LOVE MYSELF,
I still had fear inside me.
When I started to LOVE MYSELF,
I was still uncertain.
When I started to LOVE MYSELF,
I still thought that I was flawed.
When I started to LOVE MYSELF,
I still did not believe that I was lovable.
When I started to LOVE MYSELF,
I still thought I was weak.
When I started to LOVE MYSELF,
I no longer escaped into substitute activities.
When I started to LOVE MYSELF,
I no longer cared about the words that were thrown at me from the outside.
When I started to LOVE MYSELF,
I no longer waited for external confirmation.
When I started to LOVE MYSELF,
I already understood the connections.
When I started to LOVE MYSELF,
I already allowed change to happen.
