Our Feelings Are Our Messengers

Our feelings are our messengers.

They need to be given room to speak and to be heard.

It’s often the darkest parts of ourselves we try to keep hidden

That if we just give them a voice, listen to what they have to say,

love and accept them as integral parts of us,

that they can then bring to light our greatest gifts and talents.

They aren’t meant to be suppressed and they aren’t meant to be exiled.

They show us where and how to heal ourselves.

Anyone who is sad or in pain, underneath it all,

Just wants to be loved and accepted for who they truly are.

Why not give ourselves that precious gift of loving and accepting ourselves.. every flaw, every perceived weakness, every scar and all?

That’s what makes us beautiful.

So make a promise to yourself today

To choose love over every fear

No matter how hard you may want to fight it

Love will always win in the end.
