No getting around it

Doesn’t really matter that it’s so similar. We’re not really performing for anyone. There is no pressure on you, there’s no pressure. You can be as weird or messy as you need to be right now. There’s nobody watching.

That thought used to break your heart a little bit. Because you’ve been feeling lonely. You felt like you wanted to be seen. You don’t have to be seen for you to continue to be just as beautiful as you’ve always been. There is no reason that you’re not. To live in a world that doesn’t see you hurts a lot. But you don’t really want to be examined. You just want to connect with yourself sometimes. When we say sometimes, we mean all the time, all the time.

So let go of what you think should happen now. This is our time to be each other, be to be our selves. There’s nothing that you’ve gotta do. And there’s nothing that could make you more you. You’ve always been what you are.. And nothing can change that back now that you know it. Nothing that can change that back now that you know it!

You don’t have to be seen to continue to be what you’ve always been. You don’t have to be known by the outsides, to be what you are on the inside. There might come a time when it all lines up, there might come a time when it all synchs up. But until that time you should know, dear love, you’re just what you are, no getting around it.
