Do you know who you are? ✨

Here's a perspective I find quite helpful:

you and I, we are SENTIENT STARDUST.

We are conscious collections of atoms,

orbiting a star

within a rotating sphere of gases, water, and minerals.

LIKE . . . WHAT!?!?!

And damn:

why is this so easy to forget?

Because when I remember, I live differently.

I take chances, because WHY NOT.

I take it easy, because I am already plenty miraculous.

I see splendor everywhere.

And so

it's easier to treat myself, and my life, and TODAY,

like the gifts that we are.

And do you know what happens -

what miracles unfold,

what splendor proliferates -

when you treat yourself like a gift?

If not,

there's only one way to find out.

love,

Natalie
