Just like the sun-kissed blossoms, nurture and bloom to the fullest!

Self — love!

"Can I miss him mom?" I asked with teary eyes.
"Of course darling! Missing someone is your heart's way of reminding you that you loved them."
"Can I still love him?"
"Why not? You cannot unlove anyone. You can just love someone more. You have not locked yourself in. You have just locked him out. You broke up with him. You are not broke."
"Can I fall in love again?"
"Fall in love with yourself. Love the feeling of falling in love with yourself. Heal yourself.
Love what you have, before life teaches you to love what you lost."
"What next?" I was perturbed. I had a vacuum to fill. All of a sudden, the world had come to a standstill.
"Stop expecting and start accepting. Don't be a queen waiting on a king. Be a queen busy with her kingdom till her king arrives.
Choose Yourself. Choose Purpose. Respect. Clarity. Growth. Freedom. Healing. Most importantly, choose Life.
Choosing yourself over somebody doesn't mean you don't love them. It just means you love yourself enough to distance yourself from all those things and people, who no longer make you happy."

Self-love isn't vanity, it's sanity. Self-love is not selfish. You cannot truly love another until you know how to love yourself.
