Sometimes it seems like, in the midst of the most tangled, sad, unfixable moments, just the act of forgiveness is the door rarely seen or considered. If taken, there’s that feeling that comes of a knot untying itself, and the unfixable and unsolvable lifting away into lightness.

If you can, forgive today, and certainly forgive yourself. Mistakes are how we grow.

You’re being morphed from carbon into a diamond, but that must come with pressure, heat, and a whole lot of time. You’re here for the process.

Embrace the pain and hurt that comes with a kind of deeper joy and gratitude for it.

We can say and do some stupid things, but the deeper parts of us are often rooted in love. I love you if nobody has said it today! ❤️ Shine like the diamond you are.
