No Better Love Than Self Love

Every now and then I look up poets from Def Poetry Jam on youtube. As a huge poetry fan I was sad when that show came to an end. I love it when your listening to a poet and you begin get chills up your back and kind of feel like your getting a little teary eyed. That's what happened to me with this poem by Mayda Del Valle entitled "To All The Boys I've Loved Before". When we women love we love very hard and find ourself doing silly things while in love. Like we are under some kind of spell. Sometimes we don't realize how stupid some of the things are, but eventually we see the light. At one point in time I was a blinded by what I thought was love. I saw all the signs that the relationship I was in needed to end but bc I was so deep in and loved the idea of having a mate I stayed. That was about 3 years ago. I have never been that clingy woman or the one that is afraid to be alone until that moment. I look back like damn wtf was wrong with me. I'm not afraid to admit I was A Fool In Love. I'm so thankful for that situation because it allowed me substantial time to sit back and reflect. With that said I am happier now than I while in that relationship. The self love I have for myself if far greater than any love any human being could ever provide. With an enormous appreciation and love for myself it makes it makes life so much more rewarding. Many people believe oh once I get that new job, once I start making more money, or once i find that dream woman/man I will be so happy. Why not be happy now? If you live life waiting for other things to create happiness within your life you loose time living and enjoying live. That time can not be reimbursed. With that said its 2010 take some time to love loving yourself and living life in the present moment not the future. I guarantee you will love every  single moment.
