How many sacrifice their life to impress other? 85% of people I know have been depressed or are depressed and 80% of them are depressed because they say they can't live life the way they want to live. Come on! it's time to realize that life is your book and you should keep the pen with you. Don't rely on others for the ink. See your body as a toy and you are the soul controlling it, don't make your body others toy. BUT WAIT! Living a free life means you need to be strong. Think that do you want to suffer a bit and have your life all to yourself or want to be weak and suffer THE WHOLE LIFE. Why do you want to make others happy with hiding your sadness behind that fake smile? remember that if you aren't filled with love then you don't have any to share with others. Let's say you are a glass and love is water. Now if you don't fill yourself up with water then how will you pour it to other glasses? I'm not telling to be self-absorbed. Self love and ego are two different things. Self love means that you are loving yourself knowing what is your worth and how much you deserve but ego means loving yourself too much that you forget the worth of others too. You have only one life, live it the way you want to (without hurting others and cheating yourself) because taking birth in Earth is a very great chance to feel the spice of negativity and sweetness of positivity. If you can't live the life you want to doesn't means that you should stay quiet and absorb all the pain others are giving you. Stay honest towards yourself and ask yourself do you really deserve that pain? Fight for yourself if you really deserve love and start loving yourself. In the end you are only one who stays with you from birth to death. Don't expect too much from others because it is not always sure that others will realize your worth.

A BOOK CALLED LIFE (short poem by me)

(Stanza 1)

The pages are the lifeline,

Ink of the pen works till everything is fine,

You have all the rights to say, 'This book is mine' ,

Someone who snatches the pen have done a great crime.

(Stanza 2)

This world is a stage,

The happiness is the wage,

The roles we get is our fate,

We may or may not find our mate,

People will either give you love or those jealousy hate.

(Stanza 3)

The author is you,

You are the poet,

Your habits will give you the idea of future some few,

But you have the present just keep it all set.

*I wrote this because I'm sitting free. It's your choice if you like this or not because I know most won't believe in spiritual things. You are totally free to disagree with this. I just wrote what I think about self love. Feel free to add something more in it because it could help me and others learn more. Thanks for reading!
