To those in pain every day

To those who feel lost To those who feel downtrodden To those who feel betrayed To those who feel unworthy To those who feel hopeless To those who feel unloved

you are worth redemption, to love again, even if loving yourself in aloneness.

This world is callous and unforgiving. Its also full of others in pain.

You deserve the fulfillment of self love, and love of others earned through health of body and mind

You deserve the end of unnecessary suffering. Forgive yourself for your past transgressions, if you need to make penance to earn that, begin it today or tomorrow.

You deserve to treat yourself like your own beloved child, strict but merciful, supportive but not spoiled.

This world is full of the lost and malnourished. Make for yourself an island of self love and strength. Then you can support others and become a pillar of your community.

You deserve to enjoy your meals, savor them. You deserve to enjoy the fresh air, breathe it deep. You deserve to be mindful and witness this world in all its glory, pay attention to it.

You are a miracle of flesh, eyes that witness thousands of color combinations. Noses that taste the world. Tongues that bring your mind to become the flavors. Skin that feels the breath of the world on each follicle.

This world has enough lost and hopeless souls. Become a lantern and lighthouse for yourself and others.

I have wasted so much opportunity in career, love, family. But I work daily on my redemption, and love each step forward.

If anyone needs to talk, feel free to DM me. If your in the state of Arizona, I can do my best to visit or meet up.

Stay strong fam
