Everything you've done is a chance for growth. You deserve love. Turn toward. You deserve to be heard. Reach out. You deserve peace. Be gentle with yourself. You are bigger than your thinks. You are more than what you've done. You are moving the obstacles from the past out of the way, so you can step freely and easily into the future.

Welcome to a hit of hope.

You've probably done some shit.

I have too.

And oh how all the bad things you've done,

All the ways you've fallen short,

Can weigh a person down.

It can be tempting to pull away.

Tempting to crawl into a dark hole because you don't want to be a bother.

Because who would want to listen or be with you?

Because who could understand who could ever love a person like you again?

Is that what your voices say?

We've all done some shit.

When that weighs on us,

We need to remember it's what makes us human.

When that weighs on us,

We need to be honest about what we've done.

But then we need to turn toward and repair instead of turn away and isolate.

Everything you've done is a chance for growth.

You deserve love.

Turn toward.

You deserve to be heard.

Reach out.

You deserve peace.

Be gentle with yourself.

You are bigger than your thinks.

You are more than what you've done.

You are moving the obstacles from the past out of the way so you can step freely and easily into the future.

Namaste.
