Self-Love

                       self-love
                   begins within, 
            owning your feet of clay, 
        loving every part of yourself, 
being at peace with your imperfections. 
  knowing you're "enough;" liking who
            you see in the mirror
           sans judgement, that's...
                     self-love

Being at peace with your imperfections--Perhaps the thing that brings one closer to loving thyself. Well said my friend.
