For all of us.

<Listen, it’s a bitter sweet moment because true independence and loving yourself for who you are and what you are capable of doing...those are things some people never even get to the peripheries of.

Enjoy this moment in whatever way you’d like to and accept any and all feelings tied to it, because all of those feelings are a part of what you’ve created. Everything you’ve done or felt, every version of yourself you’ve bravely been or chosen not to be - it has all brought you here.

Doing things on your own is the most underrated thing in the world, and I say this as someone who is attached. But on that note, remember that you are not alone. Look around at the people you love and who love you. Your friends, family or just even general community like what you have here - people you feel comfortable enough to share this with. (Maybe you feel a bit uncomfortable, but you’ve managed it either way.)

The ability to share this? That defines your unending strength and your eternal belief in yourself that exists even when it’s waning, so congratulations on whatever big thing it is that you’ve achieved.

And don’t forget that if you want someone, anyone or any kind of love that you can share this with, all you really need to do is be open to that love. It will come.

It will show up for you if you’re ready for it and open to it.>

I almost put something different up today -- a piece on how I've been so lifted recently. But there was something holding me back, so I left it alone.

Then, as I was scrolling through the notes on my phone, I saw this - a note I recently sent to someone that was finding it hard to indulge in a big thing happening for them.

I kept it for me and you.

Love
