SUNSHINE AURA – self-esteem. self-love. self-actualization. 

I know I’m supposed to say I love myself all the time

Cherish everything about me, body and mind

But that’s just not the reality

Some days I talk to myself badly

Little triggers remind me why I don’t like my belly

Endless loops of “if only” and “why can’t I be…?”

Anxiety and fear that I am never ever enough

Self-imposed panic, over-thinking stuff

And I think it’s all right

I don’t expect myself to love with perfection

Sometimes the bad days give me direction

They show me what parts of my life need attention

Where I may be wishing for more

Where I can release a bit of tension

Learning to love yourself, through & through

Is a process, a journey, a habit you repeatedly do

Cherish the dark days as much as the light

For soon enough, once again,

The world will be sunny and bright.
