Trust Your Journey

Hey Darling,

I know it's confusing sometimes
to try to sort out the facts and truths and research and information
and it's so so easy to feel like everyone else has the answers.
In fact there are plenty of people intentionally
raising their voices
to convince you that they know better than you
what is best for you.

I know that feeling, the panic, the urgency,
to research, and read, and follow the thread,
and fall down the rabbit hole,
and come out the other end all the more confused and frightened.

But what I want you to come to know,
as sure as the beat of your heart,
and the tide of your breath,
is that you are capable of following your own truth.
And that truth is trustworthy, and capable, and right.

Not "right" in the sense than you should try to convince anyone
other than yourself
of it's certainty, and credibility.
No, it's not for you to tell anyone else what is best for them.

Because, on this journey,
each of your paths have the potential
to look so different
from each other
yet still, ultimately, be right for you.

So, my love, I encourage you
to keep your gaze
softly but steadfastly
on your own paper.

And trust your journey.
