A Letter

Dear SELF:

I know I can be mean, unreasonable and I’ve disrespected you and didn’t allow your voice to be heard…

I’M DEEPLY SORRY.

THANK YOU for sticking by me when I feel LOST, ALONE, HOPELESS, SCARED and VULNERABLE.

THANK YOU for taking care of me when, sometimes, I don’t know how.

THANK YOU for showing me other options than what I was taught and that I can LEARN, GROW and CHANGE.

THANK YOU for helping me understand you are my INNER COMPASS, and you’ll always show me the way…

THANK YOU for telling me POSITIVE, LOVING and NURTURING things when the negativity rises up and loudly starts to take over.

Thank you for giving me hugs from the inside…

THANK YOU for showing me I am BEAUTIFUL and I am PERFECTION in my own complicated, talented, simplistic, complex, imperfect and unique way.

THANK YOU for helping me trust you…

THANK YOU for shining a light on my darkness…FOR BEING THE LIGHT IN MY DARKNESS.

THANK YOU for giving me STRENGTH when I thought I could go no further, HOPE when I thought it was hopeless and another day to see things do get better. You have saved my life many times. Thank you.

THANK YOU for LOVING me when I feel unlovable…

THANK YOU for showing me I have VALUE, PURPOSE and a reason for being here because you keep whispering HOPE, LOVE and COMPASSION in my ear.

Thank you for being my friend.

I love you SELF and I’m sorry I haven’t always shown you. I recognize you are me and I am you: a loving and beautiful essence brought into this world to shine.

Thank you for not giving up on me.

All my love,

me xo

THIS BLOG IS BEST READ OUT LOUD WHILE LOOKING IN A MIRROR.
