That includes self-hatred.

I only need to love; want to even.

is utter nonsense.

I just want love; need it even.

I now simply wish to know.

One who is without help,

cannot help who they are.

Either way, you are facing a mirror.

I simply concern myself for care.

One who is smart, prepares for the worst.

One who is wise, expects the unexpected.

One who is mystic, gets ready for a good day.

There is a true self buried deep within everyone; something that can only be hidden away in darkness, but never truly destroyed. And sometimes it only takes a spark to ignite a fire; a light that will form the key capable of unlocking one's unlimited potential.

As I've come to truly understand how Nothing does matter, I have gained an even deeper understanding of how Everything matters.

Ever since I have dumped the news, social media, and other similar things, it has made me realize something. For so many years I have been in a box constantly being forcefed these stories of either misinformation or fearmongering; stories consistently drilling it into my head that if I didn't care, then I was a bad person, even though I had no control over what was happening.

If I had been given a button to either press for peace or war, I would've hit the button for peace without hesitation. All these stories were doing was deterring me from my own personal path of peace that I was always capable of taking; where I always had a choice in the matter.
