Letter to self 💌
Disclaimer: I told you this blog will be personal 🧘🏼♀️
It is difficult to fully inhale the lines I’ve written below, so this post is a reminder for myself whenever I need support (and I’m sending an air-hug to whoever reads and needs it).
May has always been my favorite month. This May, I want joy and peonies.
It was not easy to take these steps; acknowledge that you did the hard thing with the confidence that it’ll be the best for you. Don’t force it, and don’t try to change things you know you cannot. Embrace your loved ones, who reciprocate your love and surround you with love and support.
Observe the grief; don’t ignore it.
Keep yourself busy. Decorate the new apartment; buy all the green throws, pillows, and whatever you can find 💚 Get excited about new beginnings. There are new cities, new cultures, new restaurants, and new concerts to discover.
Never forget about your joyfulness. Don’t lose hope. You know that recovery exists. Remember how the most important person in your life did it with self-care and attracted the right people to his life with that attitude? You will also get there. Stay thrilled and fancy your next birthday that’s coming soon.
Be productive, keep your mind busy, and do meaningful things. Spend time in nature; do more of the park and city strolls that you've been doing for the last few weeks. Don’t hesitate to talk to your therapist; you feel it when you need her guidance. Follow your intuition; you did a good job building it.
Heartbreaks are there, and it takes courage to move on. Don’t put yourself in a cage of “not enough”. Believe that you deserve the fullest, not a piece of it, because you commit to the fullest. Understandably, you ask for similar energy. Take it easy on yourself.
Own yourself. Don’t regret the effort you put in. It made you who you are today, and that person spreads love and joy all around 🐝
Self-love is real. You have become your authentic self; you’ve discovered your way to be genuine; you’ve been true to yourself. Take pride in that. Focus on the honesty in you, and never give up being the chirpy bird you’ve always been.
Remember how you love being bold.
