There was a time when I did not understand self love. I searched for it outside myself, believing that reassurance or approval would help me feel whole. I did not yet realise that the love I longed for was already waiting within my own heart.
As I learned to live more heart centered, something began to soften. I found myself listening more deeply. I began to see myself with gentler eyes. I discovered that self love awakens slowly. It grows through honesty, through tenderness, and through the courage to trust what the heart quietly knows.
When I wrote the words for “I AM the Love of My Life,” they rose from this place of clarity. The song is not a declaration of pride. It is a gentle recognition of the woman I have become, shaped not by perfection but by presence. It reflects the peace that now guides me.
Listening to this song invites a moment of pause. It offers space to breathe, to reflect, and to remember the truth every woman carries within her. For some, it may awaken a sense of calm. For others, a softening. For many, it becomes the first step toward recognising the light they have always held inside.
Self love, for me, is the quiet presence that now lives in my heart. It is meeting myself with kindness. It is allowing joy to rise without questioning its place. It is knowing that worth is not earned. It is innate. It is the quiet sense of harmony that now lives within me.
This reflection is for anyone who is learning to honour themselves. It is for the young woman discovering her voice, for the woman in the middle of her life seeking balance, and for the seasoned woman returning to her inner truth. There is no single path to self love. There is only the willingness to listen to your own heart.
And when that listening becomes clear, it may reveal a simple and beautiful truth:
You are worthy of your own love.
You are allowed to choose yourself.
You are allowed to shine.
May this song and these words rest softly upon your heart, and may they remind you of the love that has always been yours.
