love Myself

I have been staring at my screen for quite some time now and constantly I am drawing a blank. My empty slate calls out to all that I am desperately in need of some kind of love and assurance that I hold some place in your life. The very thought is so depressing that it hurts.
Why do I need someone’s assurance and love? Am I not complete in myself? Do I need some one else to make me feel beautiful? Do I need to get a tag to say I am a good mother? Do I need a hoarding to shout that I can write brilliantly if I put my heart in it?
NO I don’t need it. Why should I ? Is it the society that says so or is the family with whom I share my life? Yes we are social animals and we need the society but if I am not satisfied myself how am I suppose to satisfy other person. If I decide that I am good then I AM! I am my own mirror and I don’t need some else to show me this mirror.
If I am not true to my soul and if I don’t love myself, who else is going to? And even if some one says that they do then how would I know it to be true?
I know I might be rambling but I need to find an inspiration and that ought to come from within me and not someplace outside.
