Here is a note of mine that I continue to write out in sharpie on white sticker sheets. I scanned this into my phone so I could post it here because some people might need to hear this... You don’t have to be perfect for someone to genuinely love you, don’t let your mind tell you that- your imperfections, quirks, shadows and traumas don’t completely define you. They’re a real part of you but there is also so many beautiful qualities as well, that I’m sure nobody gets a chance to see... just know its okay for those good qualities to shine through just as much as the darker ones do. Its okay to love & be loved, authentically. Sometimes we could all use a little reassurance with so much disconnect these days, I know I could.
...Who knows, maybe I’ll stick some of these up somewhere in a busy intersection, in the middle of a downtown area, for others to see- and maybe a wandering stranger with an aching heart wont feel so alone, and know its safe to let some love into their heart.
