ILLUSTRATION [The Curse of Clarity]
"Love yourself, and the universe will love you" is a comforting saying, but it shouldn't be the defining belief of anyone. The universe doesn't know who we are; that indifference is precisely why we should cherish ourselves. Self-love, at its deepest level, isn't about flattering the ego to feel superior or privileged, but about accepting the death of that ego to understand that in this vast galaxy, the only thing we possess is the heartbeat in our chest, and only we have the power to decide what to do with it.
