Just in case no one ever stops to reinforce this to you. Continue leaning into honest, actualized, and very self transparent acknowledgment and acceptance to your feelings and the ways in which you internalize and then adjust as a growing human being. To even be able to reflect over the last year or two and assign them a color, means you have not stopped allowing yourself to coexist alongside many things that may try to pause or even stop the very breath you breathe. I’m very hopeful for the peace and the conviction that awaits you on the other side of the season of endurance. I pray that you stay strong, even if you feel you are the antithesis. Remember that throughout all of time, weather past present or future, only you will be you, and I’m glad to have been able to find acknowledgment of a recurrent grief and reason to feel blue myself around this time of the year. Rather than lean into feeling worrisome or wanting to reply or make commentary for the sake of uplifting you from some terrible place, I immediately was able to acknowledge and appreciate your coexistence on the road of just getting through. Keep up the great work and remember to take stock in yourself and your feelings, because the gross you are sowing a seed for, will be an abundant and eternally Bountiful harvesting Garden for both your spiritual and your finite Journeys in being the amazingness that is you.

Vanessa, to be able to recognize and appreciate the little things in life is such a wonderful gift. Lean into that and enjoy every moment! Thank you for sharing and thank you for being part of The Unsealed. <3 Lauren
