I am grateful for people
who don’t expect me to be better.
People who help me realize
that I am precisely as I am meant to be.
People who take the self-inflicted
pressure of “being human” off my back.
People who lead me to realize
that I am perfect and whole as I am
and that I have all the tools I’ll ever need.
You probably think
I’m talking to someone else,
but I’m talking to YOU.
Just do what you do.
Thanks.
