Sometimes you just have to give yourself a hug 🤍 Emotions are there for feeling... even the ones we might rather avoid. I have been learning to lean into my discomfort with the curiosity of a true friend filled with empathy instead of a tyrannical judge these days. I have been asking my body “Are you ok?” in the places that feel uneasy instead of telling it to relax or DO anything. We don’t have to fix how we feel, we ought to feel what we feel and then make an emotionally informed decision on how to move forward afterward. Life sure as hell isn’t easy but I believe it’s a whole lot harder moving through it disconnected. I hope that whatever you all are going through in your own lives finds you in a loving embrace with your own self, because you know the full story better than anyone and you are made of love. 🤍 #hardtodosometimes #feelit #letitbe #youarelove Photo credit @ashleyjahncke Wearing @morganelefay_ny
