I want you to know you don’t have to be perfect in order to be loved.
I want you to know you don’t have to heal before being worthy.
I want you to know you don’t have to be unafraid before taking action.

I want you to know that your body is beautiful, achingly beautiful, exactly as it is today, precisely as it was in all your yesterdays, and however it shall be in all your tomorrows.

I want you to know you can listen to your body, eat when you’re hungry, sleep when you’re tired, and everything won’t fall apart — it’ll fall into place.

I want you to know that you and your body are worthy of being worshipped.

I want you to know that you can be honest about your hunger and admit to yourself what you already know deep down.

I want you to know that you are not bad.
I want you to know that you are not broken.
I want you to know that you are not wrong and there is nothing wrong with you.

I want you to know you are loved exactly as you are.

I want you to know you can take the masks off, put the armour down, and let yourself be who you really are.

I want you to know that the love you so badly seek will come, like a moth to a flame, when you let yourself be and be more of yourself.

I want you to know that you can be messy, imperfect, insecure, push, and pull, and they will stay, they will stay, they will stay.

I want you to know you can express your feelings, recklessly, before you’re sure, and without attachment to how they’re received. …and we need more people who do.

I want you to know that at any moment you can stop everything and start anything.

I want you to know you’re exactly where you need to be.
I want you to know there’s no rush and you can rest.
I want you to know you’re doing wonderfully.

I want you to know that life is never easy and you choose your hard.

I want you to know that most things in life are beyond your control and since you can’t control it, you don’t have to worry so much — it’ll all work out.

I want you to know you can lay the spiralling thoughts in your head down, they don’t need more energy, and you will be just fine without thinking so much.

I want you to know you can come undone, you can collapse, you can surrender, and grace will always be in the undertow.

I want you to know that the universe wants you here.

I want you to know however rugged and weaving your path is, it’s perfect because it’s yours.
I want you to know that there is no destination.
I want you to know that living fully in the now holds the fullness of the universe itself.

I want you to know that not everything you do needs to have a purpose, be productive, or improve yourself or your life in some way.

I want you to know you can enjoy what you have now and still create the future you want.

I want you to know that turning yourself off is sometimes the best way to turn yourself on.

I want you to know that you can be honest with yourself, and you can handle it.

I want you to know that there is nothing wrong with negative emotions, they don’t need to be fixed (neither do you), and maybe, just maybe, they are essential.

I want you to know that pain and discomfort and longing are a part of the human experience, they can’t be changed, nor do they need to be.

I want you to know that you can simultaneously feel and hold both pain and pleasure, joy and grief, hope and doubt, jealousy and inspiration, and every single opposite end of the spectrum, at the same time.

I want you to know that there is beauty in your breaking.

I want you to know that opening yourself, again and again, after being hurt and let down and scared is the greatest act a human can do.

I want you to know that ideas, beliefs, and thoughts are just that, changeable at any moment, and they can change your life.

I want you to know that what you fear can be a roadmap.

I want you to know you don’t need to control your healing, and, you can’t.

I want you to know there is no healed, always happy, and only positive place. And that means you can relax and be okay, today and always.

I want you to know that you deserve to feel good without guilt.

I want you to know you can burn and be reborn again and again.

I want you to know that you can do it for you.

I want you to know that you are safe and loved with me. Deeply and always.
I want you to know that I believe in you. Powerfully.
I want you to know I’m here for you. Truly.

I want you to know that you can create what you wish you had and become the person you wish you had.

I want you to know that you can trust yourself — that inner knowing without any rational explanation — and that real, true, beautiful things will happen when you do.

I want you to know that you can believe in that part of you that believes you can do it.

I want you to know that you can let out the big, the brilliance, the potential in you.

I want you to know you’re ready, now.
I want you to know you’re worthy, now.
I want you to know you’re loved, now.

I want you to know that you will die one day, so you live today.

I want you to know that you *are* brave enough to live a life true to yourself.

I want you to know you can let yourself live.

Truth and love,

Always,

Deanne
