She once wrote to herself…
Pt.3
…”Trust…
Trust that the future can still be beautiful even if it looks different from what you were expecting. Trust that even here, more is unfolding beyond what you have been able to see. Even when things have changed.
You may not be able to be everything to everyone, but you can still be everything you were meant to be by simply choosing to be present and ready to grow at every place on the journey. You do not miss out on what is meant for you when someone says “no” to you. You have not missed out on being able to know Love and Peace just because all that fell apart this year. You are going to have more opportunities to live, to learn, to grow.
Years from now, you won’t remember every conversation, every thought of everything you have ever accomplished, but I hope you remember the times you bravely chose to love. I hope you remember that when times were hard you found courage not give up. I hope you don’t remember those who left, but will remember those who stuck around. I hope you remember that even after the longest nights, morning sunrise found you, somehow… I hope you always remember that all along, through everything that was changing, you were changing, too.
So if you have to say goodbye to something or someone, I hope you can trust that in time, you will be fine. Not perfect, but fine…and years down the line, life will be so different, but still so beautiful. You will still be here. Even if you are living somewhere different. Working somewhere different. In a community or in a relationship you never could have even imagined could be possible…
