When you practice “self-love” as the world has taught,
you learn to love only the reflections of the world in you.
So if you find yourself this way,
I urge you to reach down where the world doesn’t reflect,
find the pieces you’ve deemed unlovable,
and release them.
Soon, in their chaos, you will find why the pieces fit.
And once you feel fit, you will love—not part of you,
but all of it.
