“It’s not selfish
to love yourself,
take care of yourself,
and make your happiness a priority.
It’s necessary”
Self-Care and Self-Love
are Important
for our Mental Health.
Which is why it is so Important
to make looking after ourselves
“a Priority”.
Plus,
if we are not looking after ourselves,
how can we care for others?
If we want a Balanced Life,
then we must take Time
to ‘look after ourselves’.
We must Devote Time
to our own Happiness
so that we can Feel Good
in our own skin and in our own Lives.
Then,
we can Help others
with that Smile on our faces.
This is not selfish!
Is it selfish to eat healthily?
Is it selfish to dress well?
Is it selfish to care for ourselves Physically?
No!
It is a “Necessity”
to look after ourselves
Mentally,
Emotionally
and Physically.
LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.

This is a great reminder to put ourselves first sometimes! I love how you emphasize the importance of self-care, not just for our own well-being, but so we can also be there for others. So much truth in taking care of ourselves mentally, emotionally, and physically—it's a necessity, not a luxury!
Yes indeed!!! Love your poem.
Great poem! Great work!
