I received this today and thought it was so empowering and wonderful. After a week on a vacation filled with permissions, I cant help but wish a week like this for everyone. Enjoy - and much love to you today. Permission and Other Elusive Things - by Jen Lee You are allowed to be quiet, to rest, to take a few days off. To admit that you are weary. You are allowed to slow down, and to feel the sadness that so often rises to the top when you do. You are allowed to surround yourself with people who feel cozy and safe. You are allowed to still feel that pain in your chest, even after all this time. You are allowed to prefer making things to talking about them. You are allowed to make requests. Even the ones that make you feel vulnerable. You are allowed to have stories that are complicated. To struggle to understand them yourself. You are allowed to ask the same questions for years and years. To have a hard time believing the answers, even though everyone else seems to have known them all along. You are allowed to feel brilliant and remedial at the same time. To go at your own pace. You are allowed to have moments where you feel your own beauty, despite your complexion and untamed hair and frown lines. (And so many other things that shall not even be named.) You are allowed to believe in possibilities like love even when there are so many reasons not to. You are allowed to live as though your time is short. You are allowed to keep doing what you love and trust the rest to take care of itself.
