GEMS DROPPED
“I am loved. I am love. No matter what… No matter what.”
“I feel like, especially as someone from a marginalized community, we keep talking about the unknown, the unknown. And I think what we're actually scared of is not the unknown, I think that we're scared of what we know is to come and how we're gonna cope with it.”
“Pain is a part of life, and you can handle pain. It's just pain. It comes and it goes, and you're still here… you're fine. And for the things that are worth it… the pain required to get to the other side is not only okay, but can be really worth it.”
“I hope that this offers somebody who is listening and trying to keep it together, and also recognizing that this season, or the seasons to come are asking you to submit to changes, to submit to inevitabilities that feel like they're going to invite some painful things, some scary things that it doesn't serve us to focus on how fearful we are of the pain, that there is possibility in releasing that tension as best you can.”
“You can show up honestly in the midst of the mess, fully admitting that you don't have the answers.”
