Addiction

by tranquilitee

All of us are addicted to something, wether it's drugs, sex, love, food, video games.. We are addicted to these things because they fill a hole in our lives that we can't do on our own. We are addicted to these things because they distract us from the reality of our every day lives. We are addicted to these things because we do not love ourselves. We are addicted to these things because we feel that we can love these things more than we can love ourselves. I challenge all of you to put down whatever you're addicted to and start loving yourself. I challenge all of you to stop putting off that thing you were gonna do yesterday. Drugs, Video games, Food, Sex, those things can't love you more than you can love yourself. You just have to try. Next time someone asks you what or who do you love, I want you to say "Myself". The more you say it, the truer it becomes.
