sit with me. look me in the eye & tell me what’s on your mind.
i want to see you. all of you. i want to see your wide open heart staring back at mine as you tell me what you want to do with the rest of your life.
i want to hear about your favorite childhood memory & that one time at band camp & the way you still think about your first kiss or your last kiss or any kiss in between that still holds a special place in your heart.
i want to watch you soften around the edges & remember who were before you were disappointed by someone you trusted.
you are safe here. safe to become who you want to be. you have permission to relax & laugh & cry & love & rest & feel & eat & breathe & melt into a tenderhearted human who falls apart sometimes.
come as you are. in your coziest pajamas or your fanciest shoes. wear your favorite outfit. not the one that looks good on you. the one that feels good on you. the one you really like. that’s the one i want to see.
show me your dance moves. all of ‘em. i want to see you come alive & return to innocence & play as if you are a child again. innocent. brave. bold. confident. free. free to dream & create. free to do whatever you want to do without worry or concern about how you may appear to others.
you are free now. free to be real. free to find joy in all you do. free to be you.
