I'd reach my breaking point I remember it well I couldn't take it anymore I was done done with all this this misery this pain this angst this being me I was sick of it done done done done and in that desperation I climbed out of bed staggered over to my desk open my notebook and wrote this day I vowed myself to love myself to treat myself as someone I love truly and deeply in my thoughts my actions the choices I make the experiences I have each moment I'm conscious I make the decision I love myself

I didn't know all I knew was that I'd made a vow something far greater than I want or a desire and I wish are a nice to have a vow I had to go all in on destroying myself trying there was no middle ground

I started telling myself I loved myself a thought I would repeat again and again first lying in bed for hours repeating to myself I loved myself I love myself I love myself I love myself I love myself I love myself

If I love myself truly and deeply, would I let myself experience this?
