Welcome yourself in,
My friend,
And let your awareness move willingly towards yourself for a moment.
In this space,
You are safe to be,
And to be you,
And to choose yourself.
Choosing yourself doesn't mean abandoning others,
It means taking yourself equally into consideration when it comes to your attention.
It means remembering that you are someone too.
I know it can feel edgy,
But choose you,
The real you,
The whole you.
Take a deep breath in,
And a full breath out,
Breathing and remembering.
Choose you,
The you you meet in the dark at 2am.
The you that you sing to in the shower.
The you who makes you the best cup of tea,
Or coffee,
Or juice.
The you that runs you the most relaxing,
Body-loving baths.
The you that hugs you better as you curl up to sleep.
Choose you,
The one who cares for you,
Who wants the best for you.
The one who has already chosen you.
Choose them back.
Choose you,
The you that laughs at your own jokes.
The you that dances in the kitchen with the music turned up loud.
The you that buys you a treat to cheer you up when the day feels a little rough.
The you that has your back.
Choose them.
Choose you,
The you that you have fun with when you are having fun on your own.
You're never actually on your own.
And when you choose to bring yourself into your own space,
You know that.
Choose you,
The messy you,
The unsure you,
The wild,
Wacky,
Weird and wonderful you.
All of you.
Choose every bit.
Choose you.
Choose you,
The one who chooses you.
And more and more,
You will love being you.
And being chosen.
And this is the best part.
You will live in the knowing that the you you have chosen is precisely the you you came here to be.
