A fucking thread.
If I could change the world in any one way I would make sure every beautiful sunshiney human alive could sit all the way still and hear and hold and feel all the way through when someone says something beautiful about them.
As humans we naturally struggle
If I could change the world in any one way I would make sure every beautiful sunshiney human alive could sit all the way still and hear and hold and feel all the way through when someone says something beautiful about them.
As humans we naturally struggle
with the intensity of what it really fucking feels like to be seen all the way through. And so what we do when we are seen and loved and held by another human is swat it away. Ignore it. Put it down. Prove them wrong.
Do you have a minute? I have fucking examples:
Do you have a minute? I have fucking examples:
The world: you are so smart
You: not really I’m just average
You: not really I’m just average
The world: your smile is so beautiful
You: ew no way my teeth are so crooked
You: ew no way my teeth are so crooked
The world: you are so pretty
You: omg stop it I’m nowhere near as pretty as you
Or
You: ew I’m ugly are your eyes broken
You: omg stop it I’m nowhere near as pretty as you
Or
You: ew I’m ugly are your eyes broken
The world: you deserved that promotion
You: eh I think I just got lucky
You: eh I think I just got lucky
The world: you are so talented at so many things
You: I’m also terrible at so many things
You: I’m also terrible at so many things
Want me to keep going? Okay sure!
The world: all you have overcome is incredible and I admire your strength and tenacity so much. You inspire me
You: Meh I didn’t really have a choice it’s not that big of a deal
You: Meh I didn’t really have a choice it’s not that big of a deal
The world: you have been through so fucking much
You: ya but other people have it 10x worse so I shouldn’t complain
You: ya but other people have it 10x worse so I shouldn’t complain
The world: I’m so sorry you’re going through so much right now
You: it could be worse
You: it could be worse
The world: that color looks amazing on you!
You: idk I think I look kinda fat in this it’s too tight
You: idk I think I look kinda fat in this it’s too tight
The world: do you know how fucking beautiful you are?
You: I’m okay
You: I’m okay
If I could change the world I would change all of that. I don’t even know what the right answer is. The answer isn’t what’s important though it’s the feelings inside of your soul that get all twisty and panicky that can not sit still when someone sees you.
Let people see you. My love, it takes so much work and so much practice. It’s not easy but it’s worth it. Just keep trying.
Learn to believe humans when they see beautiful things about you that you might not see. Find and own your blind spots. If I tell you that you have a “kick me” sign on the middle of your back you will believe me because you can’t see that part of yourself.
So fucking believe me when I tell you that you have magic inside of you that could set off the largest volcano there ever was. The way you shine when you believe you can could blind the whole universe.
The way you love when you believe you are worthy of love and learn how to receive love is what rainbows are made of. I’m fucking serious. I’m basically a scientist this is factual. No wonder there’s not more fucking rainbows and I need more rainbows bc HAVE YOU SEEN RAINBOWS 
This isn’t about setting out on a journey to find a human(s) to endlessly compliment you to make you feel good while you mercilessly fight it.
This is about unlearning all the bullshit you were taught about not being enough or lovable or worthy. That’s work YOU have to do.
This is about unlearning all the bullshit you were taught about not being enough or lovable or worthy. That’s work YOU have to do.
The world can compliment you all day long and it will be a thousand wasted breaths if you don’t learn how to believe it and feel it beyond the surface.
You are fucking worth it. Do the work inside yourself so you can believe us all when we tell you that you are extraordinary. Because you are. I’ll hear nothing less.
If you don’t believe me, you have work to do my love. If you do believe me, you’re a badass for doing the work
If you don’t believe me, you have work to do my love. If you do believe me, you’re a badass for doing the work
