It's Okay to Ask for Help
A Gentle Reminder
This is a message in a bottle.
If you need help, this is a sign to ask for help. For support. For advice. For a hug, a phone call, or some space.
You do not have to be drowning to ask for help.
You do not have to be losing your shit to be deserving of support.
You do not have to hold it together all the time, or give the appearance of doing so.
There is no future moment in which things will be permanently better than they are now.
Who we are in this moment is who we are.
If you are succeeding or not succeeding, to whose rules are you adhering?
If you are sprinting towards some other self, who are you leaving behind?
This is a message in a bottle.
Unfurl the paper to reveal what you most need to see.
Close your eyes and let it appear.
Let yourself stop for a moment.
Know that there is no other person you need to be.
Know that you are worthy of adoration and love, not because of any single thing but simply because you are alive.
You are here.
What is here with you?
Today I am sending you so much love and care. You matter to me. There is nothing wrong with you. No matter what you do, you have done enough to be loved.
