Love is a language that all beings speak without any regard to their shape and size. From miserable humans to chirping birds, everything that has a heart beating knows it as a blessing from heaven. It makes life worthy and helps one boost one’s desire to live. But what one does not realize is it thrives within one.

Humans came and went. But no one could ever offer a concrete definition of love. Many associated it with eternal satiation. Others called it a song of the heart. Whatever one’s way of seeing it, no one can deny that it holds the magic to human life. With time, it has changed its form. But its essence stays the same. People look for it around them. They check out others coming from different walks of life.

But only a few manage to strike a connection strong enough to keep them afloat. Others have to walk away. However, it does not mean that there is no love for them in this world. All they need to do is look within them. Their heart holds an ocean for them. Therefore, it is time for them to leave the rest and love themselves.

One may fall in love with another person, not instantly but bit by bit. One may have their heart beating for their different aspects. For instance, one may like the way they laugh. The way they look at one may also cast a spell. Not just that, but the bewildered look on their face when they come close to one may also work out the magic of love. Sharing a hearty laugh with them may seem to be the best thing in the world. One may also feel like praying for the lovely laughter to stay in their life forever.

Not just that, the moments that one spends beholding their love interests may also take them over the moon. For one, it may be the way to feel their soul. Not just that, it also acquaints one with their vulnerability. Then, one may realize that one can never break their heart because it makes them beautiful. Therefore, they can vest their feelings in one. With that, one may also feel empowered to take the responsibility of keeping them well.

One may also like to go back to the day when one met their love interest for the first them. And, one could not help but lose one’s heart to their honesty. They did not pretend anything but presented their self. Not just that, but they also did not stop there. They went to pull the curtains off their vulnerabilities one by one. They did not leave any stone unturned to make one feel that they trusted them. It looked like that one could not ask for anything else. Finally, one got a person who wanted to share every bit of theirs with them.  That also nurtured a sense of belonging within one.

Therefore, one felt that it was one’s time to make one cherish one’s presence. One went to lengths to show them that one was always there for them. From stirring a soup to cleaning their stuff, one put in one’s best to gift them all the happiness in the world. But with time, they began to distance themselves. They started to build a wall of silence. However, one did not give up. One waited for the last ray of hope to turn things. But unfortunately, the last ray also faded. Now, what next?

It is time for one to break apart not because one did not love them. But because one wanted to save one’s heart from crumbling. Love is not about stagnation and passiveness. It is dynamic. Self-love is there to come to one’s rescue. Nothing works if one does not love oneself. Therefore, love yourself because you deserve it.
