Hey there!

Listen up,

Loving yourself comes before all,

No one else deserves your affection like you do.

When you think of this, do you worry it's self-centered?

That I lack compassion? Don't I love my children, family, and friends?

Of course I do, but remember, love yourself first.

Prioritizing self-love helps us make wise choices,

In our daily lives and difficult situations.

We often get lost, overwhelmed by challenges,

Because we place others before ourselves.

But what if we loved ourselves first?

I know it may sound confusing,

But just consider this scenario:

An old woman faced with a terrible choice,

To either die or protect her dangerous grandson.

You may think death is the better option,

But what if that grandson brings fear and suffering?

The old woman chose death, putting her love for her grandson first.

But he was a terrorist, causing destruction and harm.

He mourned his grandmother's death, yet continued his ruthless acts.

Imagine the loss between her death and his continued terror.

What was truly favored in the end?

Loving yourself first is not selfish,

It's about saving yourself and others indirectly.

So dear readers, remember to love yourself first.
