The world teaches women to nurture everyone else, often at the expense of themselves. We pour from empty cups and call it love. Real love begins when you know your own value.
"You cannot pour a rushing river from a dried and hollow well." That image stayed with me. Self-love is often misunderstood as self-focus, but your poem reminds us that it is also responsibility. The healthier our relationship with ourselves becomes, the more freely we can love others without asking them to complete what only we can cultivate within. Thank you for sharing this.
This is so very beautiful. I could not decide which line was my favourite, so therefore it is all my favourite. 🥰 For so long I did none of this and now, I can see myself blossom and grow because I see who I am and can give from what I overflow with. Thank you 🤩
