A Note To Self

Dear Margaret, You are taking a huge step, and I am so, so, so very proud of you. You have always said you would never be able to pick up and just travel, unless you abandoned everyone and everything like a thief in the night, and you did not do that. You set yourself up for traveling. You finished everything you had going on, and stuck to your plan. You have prepared much better than planned. You are so committed and I love you so much for that. Realize how much courage it takes to stay committed and to keep reassuring yourself as much as you do; you know you are strong, but to be honest, you are a lot stronger than you believe. This needs to change, you need to believe. Stop being so hard on yourself all the time, please? You really need to realize how great your heart is and how much you truly do care about the well being of those around you. Take care of yourself, and allow yourself to feel every little thing, but remember to feel all those things in positive light, not negative light. You bring yourself down far too often by doing this, and it absolutely needs to change. Stop looking to people for satisfaction with yourself; look to yourself, you do not need approval from anyone, ever. While doing this, try to let people in more instead of shutting them out. Your connectedness to loved ones depends on your openness and ability to share your absolute emotions, even if they seem ridiculous, LET IT OUT and DO NOT BE ASHAMED! Do not be scared to speak up and question. Do not be scared to assess yourself more often and the current state of affairs, while doing this however, stop rushing. Let it flow. You are too tense all the time because of this. The body in which we inhibit feels this great tension and stress in terrible ways. You really should lighten up. Be easy, Yourself
