The Journey Inward

Dear Love, what would you have me know today?

My Sweet One, I would have you know this…you are not unique, but that does not mean you are commonplace. What I mean is that there is nothing you can feel, nothing you can think, no state of mind, and no experience you can have that does not already exist in the Universe and has existed for thousands of years.

On the other hand, there is no one who is blended together quite like you. Please take solace in knowing there is nothing wrong with you, nothing broken, nothing shocking or disturbing or frightening. There is absolutely nothing about you that is unlovable.

Instead, know that all of your experiences, and your perceptions of those experiences, have contributed to someone who is curious about herself and the world, someone who is sensitive to her needs and the needs of others, someone who is human and therefore hurting others and getting hurt.

Relax, My Sweet One, rest assured that your design is intentional. You are not a mistake, but rather a voice, a being that was meant to walk this earth and connect with others.
