Ode to Self

Dear Diary,

I owe myself a pat on the back for every time I fell and got back up. I owe myself a smile for every tear I shed. I owe myself a cheer for every battle I fought and won. I owe myself a celebration for ever milestone I reached. I owe myself a toast for every dream I made come true.

I owed myself a moment of silence for every time I was misunderstood. I owe myself a hug for every time I felt alone. I owe myself a song for every time I felt lost. I owe myself a dance for every time I found my way. I owed myself a laugh for every time I found joy in the simplest of things.

I owe myself a thank you for every time I chose to be kind. I owe myself a high five for every time I chose to be brave. I owe myself a nod for every time I chose to be wise. I owe myself a wink for every time I chose to be cheeky. I owe myself a fist bump every time I chose to be strong.

I owe myself a promise to keep going, to keep growing, to keep glowing. I owe myself a vow to never stop believing, to never stop achieving, to never stop dreaming. I owe myself a pledge to always stay true, to always stay me, to always stay free.

I owe myself a life full of love, laughter, and learning. I owe myself a life full of passion, purpose, and power. I owe myself a life full of courage, creativity, and compassion. I owe myself a life full of hope, happiness, and harmony.

I owe myself a life. A life that is mine. A life that is beautiful. A life that is worth living. A life that is worth living. A life that is worth celebrating. A life that is worth remembering.

I owe myself a life. And I will live it. I will love it. I will celebrate it. I will remember it. Because I owe it to myself. Because I am worth it. Because I am me. And I am proud of me.

Sincerely,

Aqua
