you are important
you are beautiful
you are worthy of love
It’s 12am and S and I have found ourselves in the only 24hr diner in the city. When we lived together we ended up sitting in the same booth at 1am trying to make sense of this life. It was our little ritual, our little secret. Now, separated by work and countless roads, we find ourselves in the same diner…in a different booth, in a different skin, in a different life.
So, after a crappy day and a restless heart we sit across from each other at 1am – at a park a block away from the diner – sharing out tears, our pain, our longing, and our hopes.
It was in that park. laughing and crying, that I was reminded of the words above: you are important, you are beautiful, you are worthy of love. And as I repeated those words to S, loving on her soul, I loved myself a little more.
So this week and last weeks little victories are dedicated to the friends we love and the rituals that bring us life.
here a collection of little victories gathered from myself and friends:
crocheting with a friend
choosing to rest
making breakfast for yourself
watching a movie with a friend
saying no
taking a break from work
walking to the park
taking a deep breath
doing yoga
trying to love yourself a little more
asking for help
