I've never known love because I've never truly loved myself! I found that I always settled for people that were not even half of what I was! I let people who were not even half of me have a piece of me! I unconsciously always discarded the better choice for what was exciting; Almost every single time like clock work! I never carried myself the way I should have! Because I didn't truly understand what I was or what I deserved! I sold myself short for sweet words from unsuitable strangers! Because I'd not discovered who are I truly was! I was looking at love in all the wrong places; That I forgot to nurture it where it should have really been blossoming to begin with! I never have loved myself the way I should! Otherwise I wouldn't have been settling for all the things I did! I grew up with so much love but I forgot it so easily Just for the cheap thrills of temporary lust and bliss! I never truly loved because I'm just starting to love ...
