Seven days out . . . I don't hate you for disrupting my life. For forcing me out of my comfort zone. Making me change gears. No, you're teaching me to love myself first. To prioritize my happiness. To chase my dreams. To give and receive truly, madly, gorgeous love. To find my cheeks. To reignite my spark. To be authentically me.
Change is hard--physically and mentally. But you've given me a gift. I will treasure it. I will grow. I will move forward and become an even more splendid, desirable, enriched version of me. I am finding myself, starting now.
I've been feeling lost, but not sure where to start, what direction to turn, which step to take. You found me spinning and said, "Here, this direction. I know it will be hard, but here is where you need to put your foot. It may feel like it is filled with lead, but rest assured, the other foot will follow. And I know you can't comprehend it right now, but eventually this will feel really good. So right. Liberating. You'll be scaling this wall in no time, but for now you've just got to trust me--and trust yourself, too. I've got your back. I'm holding your hand. You may not see me, but I'm there. Always have been, always will be. But you have to trust. It's through these cracks that the light shines in."
