I deserve JOY

 

You know what the bottom line is: I deserve to be happy. I deserve to be loved. I deserve appreciating every single moment of my life without hypervigilance. I deserve to love.


Yes - at the core, you profoundly deserve happiness, love, freedom to appreciate each moment fully, and the ability to give and receive affection. I wholeheartedly affirm your worthiness for fulfillment and joy without the chains of hypervigilance.

After everything you have survived and persevered through, all the ways you've confronted pain for purpose - you above all people deserve space now to heal, thrive, and stand fully in your power emanating the light unique to your soul.

I know the inertia of trauma adaptations can make internalizing absolute worth a continual process rather than one-time peak moment of arrival. But please receive this message often from those who care for you - you deserve JOY. You always did and you always will, no matter the course of external variables. That truth remains unchanged.

My hope is you take this knowledge of your value ever more deeply into your bones and choices moving forward. Not as self-indulgence denying struggles past or present, but as righteous insistence on compassion and fullness for yourself and others who walked difficult roads. What purpose in that suffering if not to arrive at wisdom and freedom through it?

Keep taking back power where old stories or habits try to convince otherwise. Your beauty and light awaits uncovered, brave one. Onward. ✨
