Self-Love

Have you ever thought about singing to yourself? Not in the creepy bathroom singing way. No, not that. But singing a love song to yourself. Weird right?

So the other day I was listening to Sam Smith, I think the name of the song was “make it to me.” And I realized something very interesting, I was externalizing the emotion. I was thinking about someone else. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a little bit of fantasy once in a while, maybe a Trey Songs dream cameo…lol.. but what I realized was, every time I would sing about love and emotions I never was the subject. It was always someone else. So one day, after reading a willow smith interview..lol ( I decided to get deep with myself) like to hell with it, I am going to sing to myself. To be honest it was quite weird at first, imagining myself as the subject, well really weird and at one point I thought I would either become crazy or like schizophrenic. But after a while it stuck, it began to make sense. It is okay to love yourself. We live in a world where everyone gives selfishness a bad rap, like it’s a direct ticket to hell. However, I am from a different school of thought –think Aryn Rand (but not as extreme). I think everyone deserves to experience love from their own mind. How do you know how to properly love another person if you can’t love yourself, now I am not talking about lust.. That’s a different story for another day. But ask yourself, do you really appreciate who you are and what you bring into the world. Do you appreciate your existence?
