The Journal of Self-Love.

Blossom🌱 (To 2020šŸ„‚)

I broke. -@whyreasons

I cried.

I learned that there are 36 toxins in a tear.

Detox.

So I cried even more.

I cried freely.

No embarrassment.

Seeking to find satisfaction within myself,

And freeing the trapped cortisol.

I cried with joy.

With laughter.

Until I looked in the mirror and smiled -

Saying 2 simple words...

ā€œI’m beautifulā€.

I marked joy with every touch I gave to my imperfections.

And I felt natural reciprocity of love.

A different kinda love.

A love that tainted it’s mark,

and left nothing,

but a flower behind.

Self love. - @whyreasons
