You've got to love yourself

"And kid, you've got to love yourself. You've got to wake up at four in the morning , brew black coffee , and stare at the birds drowning in the darkness of the dawn. You've got to sit next to the man at the train station who's reading your favorite book and start a conversation. You've got to come home after a bad day and burn your skin from a shower. Then you gotta wash all of your sheets until they smell of that lemon laundry detergent you bought for four dollars at the local grocery store. You've got to stop taking things so g****** personally. You are not the moon kissing the black sky. You've got to compliment someone's crooked brows at an art fair and tell them their eyes remind you of green swimming pools in mid July. You've got to stop letting yourself get so upset about things that wont matter in two years. Sleep in on Saturday mornings and wake yourself up early on Sunday.  You've got to stop worrying about what you're going to tell her when she finds out. You've got to stop over thinking about why he stopped caring about you over six months ago. You've got to stop asking everyone for their opinions. F*** it. Love yourself , kiddo. You've got to love yourself."
