I had so much love in me, but nowhere to pour it out so I started giving it to myself.
writing love letters to myself.
writing poetry about myself and for myself.
taking care of my body.
enjoying the beauty that I saw in the mirror.
spoiling myself with cute outfits and jewels.
because I deserve that type of love.
