I wandered around to seek comfort and peace, never realising it was within me.

I looked for validation from people, when what I needed was self-love.

I complained about the chaos outside, when the storm was inside me.

Once the realisation hit me, all pain, self-doubt, loneliness and restlessness vanished.

And only that remained was bliss and contentment.

I accepted my flaws and loved what I am.
