Dear Self-Doubting Darling —
You ARE worthy.
When you’re stuck with a day, that’s grey, and lonely…
Remember where you are
You are exactly who you are today.
Not who you were yesterday, or last week, or five years ago. That’s a relief! You don’t want to go back there — old skin doesn’t fit well, and it probably smells a little funny too.
You’re not who you will be in the future. Sometimes that gets you down, but the truth is that person doesn’t even exist. Aren’t you glad you exist?! Take a deep whiff of your coffee, or run your fingers lightly down the skin on your arm. Isn’t that nice? Future you wouldn’t know anything about that.
I know it’s a challenge to be present, but isn’t everything in life a challenge? Hell, even binging Netflix has struggles. I mean, there’s a cap to the amount of comfy positions you can manifest. Snacks always sound good, but once they’re gone, your thighs are full and your soul is fucking empty.
And don’t even get me started about finishing that one really good show and not knowing what to follow it with! Anyway, at that point, your brain is static and your heart is numb. You have to start living that Crank lifestyle — snorting adrenaline just to feel…
