Elizabeth’s prompt: Love yourself
February is the month of love. Valentine’s Day has just passed, and many of us marked it by expressing affection for partners, family, and friends. But how often do we turn that same attention inward?
This week, the invitation is simple: write a love sonnet to yourself.
Show some love to yourself!
An intense emotion—often romantic love. Here, the beloved is you: your striving, your wounds, your endurance, your becoming.
Then and Now
As an introvert, and a confused freak
In childhood, I tried to please everyone
So they don't find fault and call me a geek
Acceptance I needed but never won.
On one fine day, a thought rang in my head,
Why not take criticism as a gift
Learn what I lack, improve, and go ahead
A changed attitude, and there was no rift.
I started honig my skills every day
Little triumphs put me on the right track
My self-esteem was soaring day by day
My happiness, I have taken it back
Whatever I am, now I am content
Inspiring others is just my intent.
