Nurture Your Soul: Let Self-Love Bloom Before Chasing Amour’s Whispers"
OPENING: ATTENTION – 4 min]
[Step centre stage. Pause. Scan the room with gentle eye contact.]
"Let me ask you something. “How many of you have ever…
• Said ‘yes’ when your soul screamed ‘no’… just to keep someone?
• Apologized for existing too loudly, taking up space, or needing more?
• Felt like love was something you had to ‘earn’?
[Pause. Nod knowingly.]
"Now, close your eyes. Picture this:
You meet someone who feels like sunlight. Their laughter is your favourite song. So,
you do what we have all done—you soften your edges. You trade your truth for their
attention. You wake up one day and realize… you have become a stranger to yourself.
[Pause. Lower voice.]
"Here’s the hard truth: We have been lied to.
We are told love is something we ‘find’. But what if the love we are chasing… is the
very thing keeping us lost?"
[Transition]
We’ve all felt that ache- the longing to be loved. But here is the painful truth we rarely
admit…What if I told you that the very love you are chasing might be the reason you
feel emptier than ever? This brings us to the real problem…
[NEED – 5 min]
[Shift tone – more urgent, walking across stage.]
"Our world is addicted to romance. Think about it:
• Movies say we’re ‘incomplete’ until someone chooses us.
• Pop songs scream: “You’re nobody till somebody loves you!”
• Social media sells ‘couple goals’… but where are the ‘self-love’ goals?
When we don’t love ourselves, we accept:
• Breadcrumbs instead of banquets.
• ‘Maybe’ instead of ‘hell yes.’
• Love that drains us instead of love that grows us.
And so, we chase love like its air… only to realize we have been holding our breath
the whole time. But what if the oxygen you needed was inside you all along?
[Personal Story]
"I used to think love was supposed to hurt. I stayed where I was tolerated—not
celebrated—because I didn’t know my worth. Sound familiar?" Yadaa yadaa
[Stop moving. Face audience squarely.]
"And so, we beg. We stay where we are tolerated but not celebrated. We confuse
‘attention’ for ‘affection’, ‘loneliness’ for ‘love’.
[Hold up hands like a cup.]
"We are like cracked cups—pouring love into ourselves through other people… only
to watch it all leak out. Because here is the secret no one tells you:
“You cannot receive what you don’t believe you are worthy of holding."
[Transition]
It hurts to hear, doesn’t it? That we have been begging for love from others while
starving ourselves. But- There is a way out. A revolution that starts not with finding
love, but with becoming it. Let me show you how…
[SATISFACTION – 6 min]
[Tone shifts – hopeful, practical. Stand grounded.]
"So how do we fix this? Not with bubble baths and lipstick affirmations. But with
‘revolutionary self-love’.
Here’s your battle plan:
1. Rewrite Your Love Story as a (Point to temple)
Every morning, tell yourself: ‘I am not hard to love. I’ve just been asking the
wrong people.’
2. Date Yourself as a (Gesture to heart)
Take yourself to dinner. Dance alone in your kitchen. Solitude is not
loneliness—it’s where you hear your soul.
3. Build Boundaries Like Fortresses as a (Strong hand gesture)
‘NO’ is a complete sentence. Protect your peace like it’s the last sacred thing
on earth.
[Interactive moment – step toward audience]
"Right now, turn to your friend beside you and say: ‘Your love should not cost you
your sanity.’”
[Pause for audience response. Smile.]
"Feels awkward? Good. Growth begins where comfort ends."
[VISUALIZATION – 3 min]
[Softer tone. Slow pacing. Paint the picture.]
"Now, imagine this version of you…
• Walking into rooms without shrinking.
• Speaking without apologizing.
• Choosing loves not from fear… but from ‘fullness’.
And when real love comes? It doesn’t ‘complete’ you. It ‘meets’ you—already whole.
[Sharper tone]
But without self-love?
You’ll keep chasing mirages. Begging for crumbs. Wondering why you still feel
empty after every ‘I love you’.”
[ACTION – 3 min]
[Urgent but warm. Step to edge of stage.]
"So here is your mission—starting tonight:
1. Write ‘one thing’ you love about yourself. (Yes, even if it’s ‘I’m a great
listener.’)
2. Say ‘NO’ to one thing that drains you this week.
3. Every morning, ask: ‘Am I loving myself… or abandoning myself today?’
[Final pause. Quiet intensity.]
"Because the most radical love story is not about who chooses you… It’s
about you finally choosing yourself.
Nurture your soul. Let self-love bloom first. And when love arrives—may it find
you ‘already home’.
[Step back. Smile.]
Thank you.
