Safe space to be loved

Being faithful to your dream feels like thousands of little deaths that are all worth it and each teaches you to love yourself like never before.

Opening up for growth can feel like a scary thing.

I know it, as I've been looking at myself in the inner mirror and seen the bleeding wounds that are way too old to still be bleeding.

I can tell you that this place of growth is one of the most beautiful places despite the pain.

It's a safe place.

A place where you're healing parts of your story.

Perhaps you have blamed yourself for years for them. 

And now you yourself are becoming that safe space for yourself.

You're learning to be okay while you still feel that pain.

You embrace this place as you know that you're healing.

And through that healing journey you can love yourself more fully and deeply.

And let yourself be loved.

This place is not for you to seek acceptance or to be worthy.

This place is where you find yourself to already be accepted.

To be deeply loved.

And safely held.

When you watch the haunting horrors to their formless faces and give names to them, you're standing on a rock.

That rock is called "b e l o v e d".

And that is who you are.

No horror can suck you deep down to it's cold grip anymore.

'Cause you're seeing how it's all been a lie.

How the fear was born out of the lie of you not being enough, you not being loved in the first place.

And now you are living from that safe space of being loved.

You don't need that healing to be loved.

You are already.

No matter how aching, no matter how broken you feel right now.

You're safe here on this rock.

As you die those thousands of little deaths on your way through healing parts of your story, you become to the other side as more whole.

You're showing yourself that it's safe to put yourself out there.

Because none of what happens is about if you're worthy of love.

So now, look at this thought and see it through the lens of yourself already being loved.

What a beautiful safe space it is for you.

Being faithful to your dream feels like thousands of little deaths that are all worth it and each teaches you to love yourself like never before.
