oh, you big-hearted person.

i am watching you, and i am awed + humbled by you.

your role is a challenging one.

i see you in the moments when you feel anxious, frustrated, or helpless.

i see you in the moments when you feel lonely, isolated, or depressed.

i see you in the moments when you feel unappreciated, misunderstood, or exhausted.

i see you in the moments when you feel scared, trapped, or tired.

i see you in the moments when you feel angry, resentful, or sad.

of course, there are good days & good moments.

moments of joy, satisfaction, and connection.

moments of delight, wonder, and sweetness.

moments of peace, growth, and appreciation.

moments of laughter, forgiveness, and ease.

and always, always, there is love.

so much love.

it is not my intent to dismiss or diminish the good by honoring + acknowledging your hard.

one does not negate the other.

my intent is simply to honor all of your feelings.

i see you. i hear you. i honor you.

i am here to bear witness to your immense love + patience + courage + resilience + compassion, even when they feel very far away.
