1.23.25 // Hard Decisions

I hope every hard decision you have to make can be made in the sunshine. That you can turn your face to the gentle kisses of warmth and trust yourself and the world around you.
.
I hope every hard decision you have to make can be made on a long, meandering walk. The destination doesn’t have to be known, but you trust your feet as you cross every road and stone.
.
I hope every hard decision you have to make can be made hand in hand with a person who loves you. When insecurity or doubt inevitably creeps to the forefront of your choice, you can squeeze their hand and know you’re safe in the company of a protector and a partner who sees your struggles and welcomes the responsibility of trust.
.
I hope every hard decision you have to make can be made with deep, fresh breaths filling your lungs, the sweet taste of pine or sage dancing on your tongue, and grounding you back to the soil and the place that birthed you.
.
I hope every hard decision you have to make isn’t hard at all. That life gives you what you need, that your love is returned, your needs are met, your dreams are never too far-fetched, and finding yourself in simple moments of present bliss is as easy as turning your face to the sunshine, a long walk to nowhere, holding the hand of someone who loves you, and a deep breath that waits for at each passing moment.
