Post Holiday Reminder

A letter to someone who probably doesn’t know just how strong and brave they are,

It’s okay if the holidays haven’t felt so merry and bright this year. It’s okay if there is still a cloud of darkness hanging over your head. It takes great courage to keep smiling and laughing, loving and living, and finding joy and meaning in the all too often mundane life. Though sometimes hard to find, if you look closely enough, there is much beauty in the mundane, as well as immense amounts of love within the sadness. So, whether the holiday season has been accompanied by peace or pain this year, this is just a simple reminder that your mind and soul are beautifully intricate and worthy of all love. Despite everything, I hope you realize that you deserve to give yourself the gift of patience and to speak softly words of kindness when you look in the mirror. In whatever way that this message may have found you, I am so glad that it did. Keep going. There is so much more to experience in this wild ride of life.

All my love,

Karina
