Self Love & Self Acceptance
An ocean that gives
He loved me in a way that made me feel empty
For a while I wondered whether that love was real
I kept telling him I needed more
I was like a dried up ocean and he was filling me up one cup at a time
I was restless, I needed more
I quickly realized that there were these spaces within me I had left for someone else to fill
It’s like I loved myself up to a certain point, and I needed his love to complete mine
I needed him to see me in places I didn’t see myself
I needed him to believe in me when I didn’t believe in myself
All those are lovely ideas, aren’t they?
To have him complete me, and me him
To call him my other half or better half...
But I am not half
I am grateful because his love shed light in these spaces I did not realize I had within me
I would not have known the miles I have to cover in my journey of self love and self acceptance
I would not have been able to love another unconditionally because I would always be pregnant with expectations
I want to be an ocean that gives, not one that swallows you whole and spits you out
