Trial- self love. ( Letter 1)

Dear Wag,

I've seen you around and you seem like a really awesome person...
I have to say you have got the sweetest shy smile, and I love how we both get the same coffee every day! Haha caramel mocha right? Right!

You have the most gorgeous dark brown hair, it looks long... Why don't you wear it out more often?
It'd frame that pretty face of yours =)

We haven't spoken very much lately, I realise that. I've been feeling a little timid actually.
I find myself wanting to tell you that I love you...
I think you are an amazing girl, who deserves the most wonderful things this life can possibly offer!
I sense that stuff has been getting you down recently and I wanted to tell you how much I care for you. I will always be there for you and my love for you is Unconditional and can always be relied upon...

I love you very much...
You are worthy of Love.

Regards,
Wag xox

Not creepy at all!
This is about being honest with yourself. What is YOUR personal definition of self love.
Lets not forget that these definitions change over time too....
Also, different aspects of journaling highlight different types of self expression.

Today it's all about Ego with a capital E. tomorrow it's about your subconcious and what you really need to hear inside.
Writing it down in the third person offers a new perspective, and to label it as creepy may very well be their own insecurities being projected on to you!

Did you suggest they try it? I think that's exactly the sort of person who should try this. If they can't love themselves it might be difficult to share tha love wit others.
So they get you down with some negativity!
Anyways, I really liked your effort and I have been trying it a little more in private and it's been Very therapeutic.

You know sweethearts, I just wanted to say actually, I wrote this a couple of weeks ago yeh?
Well, past two or three weekends in a row I have recieved the exact same compliments I wrote here, from complete strangers!
I mean, I'm not a fan of the secret or what have you but I did have a curiosity for the whole law of attraction thing that's been goin around...
And I truly believe that writing this out from a place of true self love has effectively attracted this into my life.
I don't know how, and it could be complete coincidence. But word for word from people I don't know!

It's because you feel it and believe it and when you are confident it oozes out of you and people pick up on that and aren't afraid to approach you 🙂

Mostly we all walk around with either our heads up our arses or a look that says...Don't talk to me! When you love yourself and feel great, you smile more and you smile at everyone.

Try it go out and smile at someone...they will give you a glowing smile right back because its warm and contagious.
