Everything you are feeling right now is right. Everything you are needing/wanting right now makes sense. I will always hold you, love you, breathe you in. You are strong and sweet and kind and sincere. You bring good things to the world just by being you. You will always have a home. You are good. Enough, always--forever. Stay open and gentle. Be sweet. Follow simplicity, use love as your guide. Keep trying--it's your success.
Remember to laugh. Because it feels good, and that's worth it. Let others see, touch, feel your soul, but don't let them take it. Remain beautiful--because you're never not.
Rawness is good. Scars are ok. Deep breaths do wonders. Participate in good-byes, they're special and worthwhile. Dying is ok, being sad is too. Feeling things means you're living. Allow yourself to feel. It's part of the experience.
If the water is calling you, seek it out. You'll be better for it. Say you're sorry when you're unkind to yourself. Feed yourself bedtime snacks and chocolate covered treats.
Balloons are dumb. Plants are not dumb.
Eat good food. Let others journey their own ways. It is not your weakness to have given another an opportunity to hurt you. It takes strength to bend, courage to open, and endurance to be still.
Sincerely
This is one of the best of the van dwelling blogs. Whereas other blogs focus on working out the practical, you deal with working out the existential, which takes a poet. You sneak-in the practical too. Good luck out there.
