All That You Deserve

Product Information

To be honest I had never had the chance to read a mental health/poetry book and this book definitely left an impression. If I had to describe it in a simple word, I’d say “wholesome”. You have it in you to become a version of yourself that you genuinely love. You have it in you to become someone you’re so proud of. More than anything, I just hope you don’t give up on yourself. I hope you don’t give up on the dreams you know you are capable of. I hope you don’t give up on the future you are excited to live with someone who is incredibly good to you. I hope you know you will find someone who is incredibly good to you if you haven’t yet. I hope you know it’s not too late to find that someone. It’s never too late to start over because sometimes starting over is the best decision we’ll ever make for ourselves. You deserve to be held by hands that are pure and kind. I hope you’re proud of the person you are because you are someone no one could ever be. You will find what you are looking for and you will become who you need to be. It will all work out.

It is not about feeling better right away. It is not about proving to other people that you are trying your best to feel better. You are trying your best to feel better and your recognition is the only recognition that matters. You do not have anything to prove to anyone. You do not need to rush your process of finding freedom. The thoughts that are holding your heart tight are just thoughts. They feel so powerful but they are not. They feel so in control but they are not. Once your soul has held unexplainable darkness, the world makes it difficult to believe you belong in it. There is nothing more lonely than being around everybody but feeling like nobody can relate to what you experience internally. You are not alone in that feeling. So you hold it all in until your soul can’t hold it any longer. Please, if you feel like you can’t hold it any longer—be gentle with the way you speak to yourself and reach out to someone. Those thoughts that you feel are controlling you—tell them to someone. Someone wants to hear you. You deserve to be heard. You are not any less than someone you think has it more together than you. You deserve to feel free. Once your soul has held unexplainable darkness, the world makes it difficult to believe you belong in it. There’s nothing more lonely than being around everybody but feeling like nobody can relate to what you experience internally. You have come so far. Life probably wasn’t always easy to live but you are here despite it all. You are here and you belong. I hope you know you have the power to change the way you think and you have the strength to accomplish all that you need to. When you change the way you think and speak to yourself, you change. Your feelings change. Your doubts soften and you attract positive energy. The more positivity you surround yourself with, the more you will see your life change for the better. Choose who you choose to be around with this in mind. Sometimes we just need these encouraging words and reminder to love ourselves. Especially for people who might be feel lost, alone, not loved, and too hard to themselves.Watching someone you love lose someone they love is hard. Their pain becomes your pain. Their grief, in a way, becomes your grief. Watching their heart ache and their eyes dry of tears is difficult to experience. It’s this awkward yet powerful experience of learning to love them in a way that is completely selfless. It’s almost like an out-of-body experience. You have to let go of your needs for some time and wrap yourself in their needs. You have to take care of them knowing that in this situation, taking care of them is taking care of yourself. You learn so much about your capacity for compassion. You learn so much about your love for them. You learn the power of rest. You learn the strength every soul has within to be carried through grief. Maybe in the season it happened you were trying to be someone you aren’t because being yourself was too hard. Maybe you were trying to escape your reality because your reality became too hard to live in. Maybe what you believe in was used against you and now you don’t know what you believe in. I hope that no matter what happened to you, you find the peace to believe in yourself. Maybe sometimes it feels like the world is falling in love and you’re alone wondering why you’re alone. In those moments of being alone, I hope you remind yourself that you are beyond worthy of the love you desire. We are all worthy of love but only certain souls are meant to love certain souls. Because even if something isn’t meant to happen, redemption and healing can always happen. Mistakes can always be forgiven. Freedom can always be found. You are free to be whoever you dream to be. You are deeply loved through it all. At the end of the day what matters most is how we make other people feel, how we impact them, how we make their life a little bit brighter every moment we have with them. The way you experience living changes the moment trauma touches your soul. The way you see other people, the way you navigate relationships, the way you think and process every detail of every experience changes from that moment forward. You may not see the way it changed you right away, you may not like the way it changes you, or you may find yourself overwhelmingly grateful for aspects of your struggles because without the pain you wouldn’t have found the purpose you have. Some people become victims of their past that pollute the world with unhealthy negativity. Other people become positive forces of angelic light that touch more souls than they even know. Healing is a choice. Numbing yourself because it seems more comfortable than dealing with the trauma is a choice. The ones who choose healing are the ones who experience heaven on earth. The ones who choose healing are the light workers the world wouldn’t survive without. The healing is unfathomably difficult, but the other side is beyond worth it. Which kind of person have you become or do you want to become?

Creating boundaries between you and someone bringing negative energy into your life is never selfish. No matter how close you are to someone, trust yourself when you know you need to say no or distance yourself. Please, don’t let anyone get in the way of the peace you deserve.

Sending love to anyone feeling like they are slipping into depression. You are safe. You will find your way through. Be nurturing to yourself.
