We spend our whole life, in the pursuit of happiness or in search of love. Yet we always lose ourselves trying to find it. We never see what lies in front of our eyes. It was YOU the whole time. The key to your happiness rests in your hands. The love you were looking for lies within you. The best part is, you know that you’ll never ever betray yourself or walk away. You have the whole world at your heels, once you understand how great you are. You will open up to an everlasting fountain of unconditional love. It will help you conquer life by teaching you to accept your flaws, improve your health, and prevail over your insecurities. And proudly shout out to the world “I AM ME! AND THERE’S NOBODY I’D RATHER BE!”

Even your flaws, are beautiful too

For it means nothing if you cannot see it too –Ozioma Ogbaji , Poem: For You
