I hope after everything, you feel free to write it again. Even if it’s nothing more than a few words for the beginning of a message you may never send. Even if it’s just to create just enough space in your life to say: I was here. And I’m still here. And here, in the wild of June, this story has not yet reached its end.
And you do not have to wait to know what the next chapter will entail for this to be true: you are allowed to keep returning to the spaces that allow you to breathe and explore the possibility of what could be. Even if it just begins with one line at a time.
“Here’s what I’ve been meaning to say…”
“I don’t have perfect words for this for here’s what I know…”
“I used to hold so much in. But now…”
Even if it’s just nothing more than a few words, allow yourself to create space this June. You never know what small beginnings (even if in the form of a sentence) can teach you.
