Comforting Thought: Other people’s opinion of you doesn’t matter
“it is easier to let go
of someone’s opinion of you
when you understand

a combination of their past conditioning
and their current emotional state
without realizing it,
they see themselves first,
and through that lens they get
an unclear picture of you”

Comforting Thought: Healing and the ‘precious now’
“Sometimes the end is sudden
and you are left without closure,
heartbroken and unprepared
for such a sharp change
for a while, you live with a mind
that is half here and half full of regret,
wondering, “what if?”
for a while, your heart only feels grief
and your mind only sees gray
and then life starts to call you back
into its arena of possibility;
it reminds you that all is not lost
and that even though a chapter ended,
there is still a longer story to be told
with time and intention,
wounds lose their heaviness,
healing fills the tough parts of your being,
and you awaken the light of love within yourself
in time, you will return fully into the precious now with a heart that feels refreshed and ready to move forward”

Comforting Thought: There are spaces meant for you
“i know you squeeze into tight spaces
with the hope that you may fit

in order to belong safely.”
