My Warrior Oath To My Best Friend.
So after all this time,
I have finally learned my lesson.
I rushed in my youth
to find someone,
anyone who could love me.
I had never been taught about love,
or that I was even worthy of it.
I had never built a healthy relationship with myself,
had no concept of Self Respect,
Dignity,
Sovereignty.
I was young.
I never knew there was a different path.
I forgive myself for my own naivety.
Compassion, loyalty, unbreakable spirit, wisdom, intelligence, fun, humour, care, tenderness, foresight, intuition, integrity, kindness, power, strength, depth & love.
I have had the gifts all along.
I now realise.
It's not the size of my bank balance
that makes a real man.
It's the size of my heart.
Not others acceptance,
but my own.
Learning to love myself unconditionally,
Only from this perspective
am I ever able to fully love anyone else.
How much can I help?
How much light can I spread?
How deeply I can love?
Trusting fully from the start with discernment.
Never again will I betray myself
for scraps of validation.
I will validate myself.
Not with ego,
with a grounded humility
that comes through the wisdom of age.
Never again will I ignore my instincts for an easy life.
I validate myself in a loving way.
I know that loving myself,
being kind to myself,
Is who I am
& who I truly was all along.
I am worthy of loyalty, joy, positivity, passion, kindness, respect, care, attention, gratefulness, positivity, ambition, abundance, growth, calmness, mindfulness & love because I embody it.
Patience not only with others
but also myself.
Trusting my own judgement.
The Earth will feel my absence when I am gone.
Those who know me,
have me in their lives
are blessed.
The depth of my soul
knows no limits,
nor does the depth of my love.
It is not a weakness.
It is my biggest blessing
I am a true friend.
This is a beautiful quality.
I am not selfish.
I am strong enough to be vulnerable,
Wise enough to understand,
Care enough to listen.
I matter,
simply for who I am as a person.
From this day forth
I make a solemn vow
to the inner warrior
who has carried me here:
I vow to share light.
I vow to share love.
I vow to never let myself down again.
I vow never to lower my standards again.
I vow to only accept what I truly deserve & how I deserve to be treated.
I vow to live my own truth.
I vow never to dull my shine for anyone or any reason.
I vow to never accept disrespect ever again.
I vow to face my own pain.
I vow to love myself better than I ever have.
I vow to take care of my mind, body and soul.
I vow to do my best.
I vow to fulfill my potential.
I vow to walk in honour.
Head held high,
chest out,
shoulder relaxed,
smiling at the world.
I am proud of the person I have become.
Of the journey that has got me here,
the hard work it took,
continues to take,
I have grown so much,
I will never let myself down again.
I have a unique gift to share with humanity
I will do so with humility to the best of my ability.
My mind is a formidable tool,
I am destined to do wonderful things
with the lessons I have learned,
while tempering those lessons
with understanding & compassion,
patience and love.
I am truly unique.
As we all are.
I am now my own best friend
And I will never let you down again 💜
