Be Your Best Friend

Mia Winhertt

Be your best friend.
Listen to yourself.
Believe in yourself.
Cheer on yourself.

Be your best friend.
Be kind to yourself.
Forgive yourself.
Let go for yourself.

Be your best friend.
Spend time with yourself.
Do things for yourself.
Be content with yourself.

Because then
And only then,
Can you ever truly
Be someone else’s friend.

  1. Your poem reminds us of the importance of loving and caring for ourselves first. Only when we learn to be our own friends—to listen to ourselves, forgive ourselves, and accept ourselves—can we share genuine friendship with others. It’s a simple message, yet very wise and full of tenderness.

    Have a beautiful day. 🤗🤗🌼

  8. One ought to be grateful even for the will to some subtly in interpretation. As regards to one’s good friends, however, who are always to indolent and think that because they are ones friends they have the right to indolence: one does well to allow them at first some room and latitude for misunderstanding – thus one can laugh at their expense; or get rid of them altogether.
