The First Person You Must Love

Stop chasing validation from people who will never fill the void inside you.

This girl twisted herself into a pretzel trying to impress everyone around her,

thinking their approval would make her feel whole. Burnt out and empty, she breaks down

at her grandma's house. Her grandma quietly hands her a wrapped gift.

The first person you must love is here. She stares at her own reflection,

tears streaming down. All this time running after everyone else's love when the most

important person was right there waiting.
