To the one who is seeking reassurance

Hey,

I know it might seem overwhelming. Everything appears straightforward yet complex, or is it the other way around? Various opinions and suggestions have been flying around, creating a sense of you being all over the place. Your mind is filling up with questions, and you wonder if there are enough answers. However, let’s take a moment to pause and tune into that inner voice.

I understand that you seek reassurance, but it’s not always the world’s responsibility to provide it. Sometimes, you have to find reassurance within yourself. Not all questions come with ready-made answers; some require discovery along the way. Now, do not present me with that book on damage control. While preparation is essential, let’s not forget that you first should start traversing the road. I have always advised you to be aware of the distinction between seeing what you want to see and seeing things for what they are. I understand that you will never be blinded, which is why I ask you to be vigilant—not just for signs of possible danger but also for the silver linings.

You’ve always been the person who keeps her armor close by. Even while being hard on yourself, you were always protective of your emotions. You don’t always need your weapons ready with your vulnerabilities hidden in an iron shell. Not everything is a battle you need to fight; sometimes, life can offer you a journey to find new meanings. Listen to yourself a bit more than you listen to others. The future remains unknown, but seek out its promises. After all the calculations and drawing Venn diagrams, what is it you truly feel?

The world around you could be chaotic, so let’s not turn deaf to the voice of reasoning. There are always two sides to the coin, yet we still take our chances. Awaken the poet in you and travel the road not taken. Like I always say, go easy on that dreamy part of you. She deserves to be happy; never is it a sin to dance out of joy. I know you can smile, but it’s okay to laugh too. No matter what, I will always be here—to lend my shoulder, whether for warmth, to celebrate, or to step on and march forward. I’ll always be ready with that extra cup of hot chocolate.

support & chocolates,
A reassuring self
