“Self-love is an act of holy disruption.

To love yourself in a world that profits directly from your self-loathing is the ultimate subversion of all that seeks to keep you tame.

We've been taught to hate all that we are (our softness, our fierceness, our not-enoughness, our too-muchness, our tender flesh, our hard bones, our voices, our insatiable hunger, our yearning for more, our aging, our youth, our ugly, our beauty, our all) so that we can be packaged into a commodity that sells us back to ourselves.

Our self-hatred is, in many ways, one of the pillars that capitalism and the patriarchy rely on to keep us small and contained, caged and corralled, safe and quietly in place.

To fall headfirst into a lifelong love affair with our purpose, our passion, our capacity, for pleasure, with the sound of our yes and the tenor of our no. With the reflection in the mirror. With the rich inner landscape of our fumbling and messy aliveness - this threatens the status quo.

As Naomi Wolf said, "Our appetites DO need to be controlled if things are to stay in place."

I don't know about you, but I'm at all not interested or invested in keeping things in place, in maintaining the status quo, in propping up a paradigm that's been trembling on its last legs for far too long.

I don't want to have to tamp down my desire, to contain the embers of my fire, to minimize the heat of my burn.

I want to love myself enough to always ask for more, and then I want to love myself harder so that I can expand wide enough to receive it when it comes. And no, I don’t think this is easy. Or simple. Or even always gentle.

But you loving you?
Like really, really loving you?
It subverts the whole damn thing.
It disrupts the narrative.
It flips the script.

It’s a way to reclaim all that has been taken.
To demand your seat at the table.
To call your wholeness home.”
― Jeanette LeBlanc

“When regrets do happen?
Well, I can count a few and when they do happen, I console myself with — at that time of making that decision, that was what I thought was best for me. So I forgive my old self for not knowing better but love her all the same and trust my future self to handle the pain and consequences.”
― Mystqx Skye

“I have the power," I say with a cheer,
To shape how I feel, right now and right here.
It's not what has happened or the words that were said,
Yesterday's gone, it's long put to bed.
Today is here so vibrant and new,
I get to choose what I want to do.
Tomorrow's still waiting, not yet in sight,
This day is my canvas, I'll paint it so bright.
Letting go of my worry my fear and my doubt.
I'll fill this day up with joy all throughout.
Today's what I have its mine to embrace,
I choose to fill it with love hope and grace”
― Emma's Mussings
