Dear universe,
You've carried me before,
Through things I was sure would break me,
Through nights I didn't think I'd find my way out of.
And somehow I did.
Somehow,
You were there.
So today I'm coming back to that,
Back to the evidence,
Back to the quiet proof that you have never once abandoned me,
Even when it felt like you had.
Because if I'm honest,
Trusting life right now doesn't come easily.
I've been holding on a little tighter than I'd like,
Bracing instead of breathing,
Waiting for something to go wrong instead of letting something go right.
And I am ready to put that down now.
Help me to soften my grip,
To remember that life is not something happening to me,
It is something moving through me,
With me and for me.
Remind me that I don't have to understand everything to trust that it's unfolding as it should.
That uncertainty is not danger.
That the unknown is not the enemy.
You have guided me before,
Without me even knowing it.
Let me trust that you are doing the same right now.
I am safe.
I am held.
And life,
This beautiful unpredictable life,
Is still on my side.
