Love Yourself ❤️

This morning when I went to work, I heard people talking about Valentines day,

I saw chocolates and perfumes wrapped as gifts and roses smelling beautiful on my way,

Young and old all seemed happy while walking with each other hand in hand on a working day,

Someone came to me and asked me if I wanted to buy a present to celebrate Valentines day,

I smiled at him and said to him “I am celebrating this day by loving myself”,

He looked astonished and walked away while murmuring something to himself, I heard him say “How can loving one self be a way to celebrate this romantic day?”

I said to him “We love everyone so much that we forget ourselves then why not celebrate a day by loving yourself?”,

Roses wither, romantic dinners will be forgotten, the smell of the perfume will also disappear,

But the gift of loving oneself is a worthy gift because it will make you lose all fear,

We depend on others for support and love and while doing things for others we ignore ourselves,

Why not instead focus on being happy in your own company?,

You can love someone by giving your best but first you must learn to love yourself,

This Valentines day I gave a gift to myself and that gift was of resolving everyday to love myself.
