Even your jawline

Every part of you deserves to be loved.
Every. Single. Part.

From your pinky toes to your jawline.
From your anger to your meltdowns.
From your creases to your rolls.
From your wrinkles to your grays.
From your mistakes to your patience.
From your courage to your fear.
From your loving heart to your boundaries.

Your past self.
Your current self.
Your future self.

You are a messy, imperfect paradox.
And all of your many shades of humanness deserve to be loved.

The shame you sometimes feel—that deserves to be loved.
The outbursts—yup, those too.
The fear—check.
The cellulite that we all have—also that.
The traits you adore, the traits you abhor.
The things you struggle with, the things that come naturally to you.

Every part deserves to be loved.

You are a special concoction cooked up by the universe that is literally one of a kind. There is ONLY ONE YOU.
Drink that in.
There is no one else quite like you in this country, this world, or this galaxy. And there never will be. You and only you can fill your spot.

You, my dear, will never be more worthy of love, tenderness, and compassion than you are right now. Even when you win that race, get that job, build that company, write that book, eat plant based, help that person, lose that weight, create that art, travel to that place, impress that relative, win that battle, or buy that house.

Every part of you deserves to be loved right now, just as you are.

And the very best person to do that is you.

There will always be ways to improve, if you so choose, but don’t wait to flood yourself with love.
Do it today.
Do it now.
Make the choice, and don’t look back.
