when things get dark

lovey,

i know you are looking at the world right now saying:

what the actual fuck.

and you are right. you are sensitive and empathetic and questioning and learning and growing and healing and it makes perfect sense that you are finding it hard to keep rising in the middle of a dumpster fire.

perhaps anyone who has been struggling with depression, anxiety, overwhelm, burnout, stress... simply surviving... so so tired of fighting... will be feeling especially depleted right now. 

like: why bother? 

like: i can't even. 

like: i give up.

but the powers that be in this world would rather we stay... 

stuck. small.

disconnected. distracted. disregulated.

numb.

and so what if getting unstuck is revolutionary?

what if everything is bad AND ALSO we still keep creating and helping and teaching and learning and serving?

what if healing and becoming stronger and persuing our passions and purpose and dreams allows us to create more and help more and lead more?

that little voice in your head saying: maybe i shouldn't, now's not the time, no one cares... is not the real you talking. 

real you says: keep showing up. 

the world needs what you do.

and YOU need what you do.

now more than ever.

keep shining.

love, 

your favourite self
