Today I want to dedicate a few words to myself, full of love and gratitude.

I dedicate the rest of my life to myself, without knowing if it will be a lot or a little, but with the firm conviction that I want to live fully , true to myself and at peace with the decisions I make.

I give myself peace of mind to live and enjoy every moment, every instant. I also allow myself to understand that what I once questioned, I now value as part of the journey.

Every wrinkle, every gray hair, and every dark circle under my eyes bears witness to my sleepless nights, my inner struggles, and those endless searches for answers that, over time, I learned I didn't always need to find.

Today, I want to dedicate to myself the songs that once reminded me of someone special. To my former loves (why not?), to my loved ones, to my friends who are no longer with us. I carry them all in my heart.

I want to give myself time , because I'm learning that nothing lasts forever and that the only unacceptable thing is putting myself off until later.

I want to give myself flowers and not wait for someone else to give them to me.

I want to walk without haste, without making time for anything or anyone, recognizing that many people stayed behind at past stations, and that their place in my journey ended where it was meant to end.

Today, I give myself permission to have a coffee alone , without shame or embarrassment, enjoying its aroma and chatting with it.

Today, I give myself the keys to happiness , just for me.

I don't want to miss anything anymore, I just want to live remembering the good times and let the bad times be carried away by the wind.

Life is a testament to real and truthful experiences, which only those who have lived them can recount.

Love. Yes, love for myself.

They call me selfish. Yes.
Because now I understand and love myself more.

✨I love life.
✨I love who I am.
✨I love the intangible.
✨I love my essence.

And if someone doesn't like it, let them look inside themselves…
Because only when we learn to love ourselves can we accept others. ❤️
