SELF-LOVE IN BLOOM

I. Detangle the stars from a kind sky. Hang them around an unframed mirror. Look at how they make your face glow with beauty that has always resided within you. Shed the insecurities. You won't need them anymore. It is time to stake your claim over what is yours.

II. The year you chopped up your heart and gifted it to strangers is over. The year of hating every bulge, every blemish, every scar, is over. The year of hate, gone. In its place is not acceptance, but a long-overdue apology.

III. 'I'm sorry I was cruel. I'm sorry I was embarrassed. I'm sorry for feeling afraid. Let me love you. Let me celebrate you, in all the ways you are deserving.'

IV. Dawn has finally arrived. Watch how the sun envelopes everything you thought was left to fend for itself.
