Self love is the toughest form of love to maintain.

They don’t tell you that when they’re busy trying to build it up in you.

They don’t tell you that sometimes there are good days. When self love is so damn easy to hold on to, to swim in, to bask in. Those are the days that make you feel like you’re everything you could ever imagine yourself to be. You wake up feeling on top of the world, remembering that you are:

strong willed,

beautiful,

smart…

you have everything going for you.

There’s this light in you that you can’t imagine ever being dimmed or put out.

& then you wake up in two weeks, struggling to remember the light in you that can’t be put out.

Couldn’t it though?

Today you feel:

weak,

unattractive,

lost…

It’s then that you should remember, self love is the toughest form of love to maintain.

Because when you do, you’ll remember to get up and keep fighting to maintain it. It is what will help you shake off the feelings of inadequacy and welcome the thoughts of strength.

Of power.

SO.

Hold on to it and never let it go,

It’s meant to carry you over through the periodic lows.

You are worth fighting for in every way,

They said it was the toughest love, but they said nothing about it being impossible to maintain.

 

You are worth maintaining.
