Writing to fear from a place of love

Next time you notice you're being hard on yourself, try this...

Here is an example:

“I’m right here. I’m right here with you and I’m not going anywhere. I have nowhere better to be than right here with you right now and I’m going to stay here with you through this and I want you to know that I don’t need anything from you. I don’t need you to be brave. I don’t need you to be a grownup, a leader, transcendent, a bad-ass. I don’t need anything. I don’t even need you to feel better. If that’s not possible for you right now, I would never ask you to do something you can’t do. I don’t need you to banish your fears and magically before my eyes or suddenly just be totally chill. I don’t need anything from you. I just love you and I’m going to stay right here by your side. No matter what may come, you are not alone. You’ve got me and there’s nothing you could do or not to that could ever cost you my love or my presence and there’s nothing that can happen out there in the world that will take my love away from you either. I’m not going anywhere. I’m right here. You can be as shaky as you need to feel. Whatever it is, I will face it with you. We will face it together.”
