I am writing you from a hilltop. I have been in an abyss. Yes, an abyss. And yet, I haven't minded it as much as I have in the past. I am learning to appreciate it's thorny bushes and unexpected cliffs. Life as I know it is unfolding before me as a magical mystery and I am learning to welcome the adventure ahead even when I am tired and afraid.
There is so much I want to tell you. So much that I have learned on this journey. I have loved deeply and lost everything more than once; more than twice, for as long as I can remember. And what I do remember is vivid, intense, catastrophic, and somehow still nostalgic.
Every day I come closer to the truths within me that the world has encouraged me to hide deep in the cavernous womb of my immense heart. And every word herein is intentional; so that you might feel what I am feeling and understand.
Life is meant to be lived authentically. It is meant to be all it can be. All the worst and all the best of what this journey has to offer is to be savored. Yes, even the worst of it.
Before I leave you; an offering. Persevere. Sunrise is guaranteed. Let that be a beacon.
xo, Jessica
