Love letters written to myself: November 2nd 2022💗

There’s something sacred about writing directly to the parts of yourself that often go unheard. . .your mind, your body, and your heart. That day, I sat down with a pen and paper, no filters, and let the truth spill out. What came forward were three love letters. Three truths. Three promises.

And now, I’m sharing them here. . .unfiltered.

To my mind:

“You are strong.”

I don’t say it enough. But I need to.

What I pour into you, you give back.

So I’m trying to speak life into you. . .daily affirmations, truth, scripture, prayer.

I pray for peace of mind every day.

I’ll do my best to remember that you’re not my enemy. You’re my engine.

And you deserve kindness too.

---

To my body:

Thank you.

It’s hard for me to actually say that right now.

I don’t love all of you. . .but I know I will again.

We’ve both been through a lot.

Life hit us hard.

Things happened to us that we didn’t choose. But we’re still here.

And I promise. . .I’ll get us back to where we were… maybe even better.

Just give me time.

I’m learning to stay.

To my heart:

Oh, heart.

You’ve really been through it, haven’t you?

The ringer… the wreckage…

And yet. . .you’re still here. Still beating.

Still holding on. Still hoping.

Thank you for not giving up.

Thank you for keeping me tender.

I pray for healing.

I love you.

So, so much.

Sometimes, healing looks like a letter to yourself.

Sometimes, it starts with simply saying:

“I see you. I’m trying.”

Scripture:

“And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.” – 1 Peter 5:10
