Of unveiling our vulnerabilities down to the distinct rawness of
character we imagine helps us feel safe
as we create our life narrative.
The labels we put on those narratives
as though self love is dictated by every measure of worth we attribute to those stories.
Oh the effort we expend to be real, to be seen, to be heard, to be valued.
When all we have to do, as daunting as it may seem, is to accept ourselves with such an intensity until we believe that we matter, that everything about us matters.
Freedom can be so exhilarating.
