Authentic Self

There are times when I feel so lost.  Not just in life or in relationships, but in myself.  And that's a scary place to be and it certainly does not feel good.  So reminders such as this from the Brave Girls Club, really help me breathe and remember that I don't need to feel hopeless and lost.  I just need to regroup and remember.

Dear Brave Girl,

You are still in there, every single bit of you. You might feel like you don't know who you are anymore, that your identity has been lost, that you are living a life that you can't even recognize or that your hopes and dreams have been sucked away but some crazy whirlwind . . .whether it happened quickly or very very slowly.

Your soul is in there, your heart is in there, your hopes and dreams and good memories and that happy, fun, adventurous YOU is in there. It is!

You just gotta get unstuck, and you can. You really can. The first thing you must do is put faith in that hope that you are still in there, then listen to that hope. Talk to it. Ask it where it has been and what it needs to come back out. Then keep listening and take action.

It's not too late. It's never, ever too late, and right now seems like the EXACT right time to begin the process of restoring your authentic self back to her true form. You can do it. Don't let the world miss out on you anymore, gorgeous girl. We need you. YOU need you!

You can do it. You are a brave girl, and you are SO loved.

xoxo
