LOVE Your SELF

Love yourself  NOT for whom society dictates you should be, but for whom you really are.

Surround yourself with those who love you NOT for whom they wish you to be, but for the person you really are.

It's harder than it sounds, this little thing called love, especially when it's your family and friends that hate you for exactly that; the person you really are.

But with that said, I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for the one I ain't.

Take heart young lads and lassies, don't huddle alone, outside this big 'ol box; cold and wet and lonely.

Spread your wings and EXPLORE!  

Find your SELF... Nourish your SELF... Love your SELF... Be your SELF!

And PLEASE, no matter how dark, no matter how dismal, no matter your belief it will never get better; never, ever, EVER hurt your SELF.

If you think that death's the answer, don't be so quick to find out.  Yes, little one, your flesh will certainly die, if put to too much pain.  But what about your soul, that surely lives forever.  To heaven?  To Hell?.... I don't fucking know!  Even the scientists insist, that energy never dies, it just ends up some place else.  

A soul is only truly ALIVE, if it has a beating heart to warm it and a thinking brain to guide it.

Wrap your arms around yourself, hugging on so tight and LOVE your self for ever more for the person you really are!
