gentle reminders to carry you home

Dearest Lima Bean,

What is meant for you will not miss you.

Life really can be good and full and beautiful. And you don’t have to compromise any of yourself for you to receive it. 

You also don’t have to earn it. 

You are allowed to take breaks. 

You are not behind. 

You don’t have to carry the entire world on your shoulders. 

No one else’s life or destiny is your responsibility. 

No one is coming to save you, AND you are fully capable of taking care of yourself. 

You haven’t done anything wrong. 

Good and bad — happy and sad — bliss and grief or devastation can be felt at the same time — duality and polarity, and your ability to hold both is part of the full human experience. Both can exist. Both can be here. You are capable of holding it all. 

Control is an illusion. 

Focus on what you do have control over, which is very little. 

Breath.
