You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.

Dear Self: (or, Things I know)

Give it time. Give yourself the time and space to be who you know you are and whom you need to be. Embrace yourself first, others after. Only embrace those who will accept it in a way you can accept. Don’t be afraid. Trust the woman you’ve become. Know you’re enough.
