I once read
That if you think of yourself as a plant,
It might be easier to love one's self.
We are sprouting, growing, changing,
And require delicate care.
We need lots of water
And to feel sunlight daily.
We may need a trim sometimes.
Think of yourself as a plant
In the way that on some days,
You are blossoming.
And on other days
You may be wilting.
But when have you ever heard a person say
That one flower is more beautiful than another?
Plants just are.
To stay healthy,
Every now and again parts of ourselves
Need to fall off.
They will grow back eventually.
But we need to keep ourselves rooted, grounded.
Be ever mindful of the health of your soil.
Remember that plants are strong and unstoppable.
When cut down they always grow right back up.
Everyone needs a new start sometimes.
Stand tall in your body and breathe.
Take care of yourself.
You deserve it.
You make the whole world more beautiful,
Just by being you.
