The Mirror: A Self-Love Poem

Do you ever struggle to love the person you see in the mirror?
Regardless of what your skin looks like or what stories are filling your head, you are worthy of love.
Our co-founder, Niels, wrote a poem for the days when self love feels hard.
May these words inspire you to first see the beauty in yourself, and then in those around you...
“The mirror just reflects fractions of light.
Yet we take it for truth when it's neither wrong nor right.
Leaving us wondering why…is this just my plight?
There is more to me than what is seen in plain sight.
Look at my soul, there’s love in my heart.
There is kindness and patience and wisdom to impart.
But do you hold back and bite your tongue?
Do you keep your mouth shut when there's a song to be sung?
I get it, we know, it's the fear to be seen.
But your value is greater than what’s on a screen.
We are here on your side, we have walked in your shoes.
You deserve to be you, however you choose.
Take this as your nudge to be all you can be.
We know who you are and you deserve to be free.”
