Beloved Waters

I don't have to be loved by you for me to love me too. Honestly, there's no one in this world I love more than myself, no matter the relationship - I love me first behind god.
so many people think I should shrink myself once I finally expose myself, but why does loving me require me to shrink?

There’s a quiet strength in someone who loves without losing themselves—who holds firm yet open arms, a patient presence that feels both challenging and steady. I’m learning what it means to be pushed forward by something unspoken, a force that’s both grounded and unwavering, allowing space to grow without ever giving way.
