I know the saying “go where you’re celebrated” sounds cliché-ey. But it rings true.

 

Life is hard enough as is. Why spend precious moments gritting through and walking on eggshells, when you could be happy??

 

Go where the love is!

 

The ones who love you, who know the different parts of you, yet do not seek to take away your agency, even when pointing out pitfalls in love.

 

The ones who genuinely have their hearts glow with yours at every added feather. Whom you do not have to explain and/or justify every move or utterance with.

 

There’s bound to always be those who will seek to define you and/or keep you in a lowly box based on just one narrative they may have.

 

But... You cannot die on the hill of trying to be accepted for who you are.

 

Go where the love is.

 

You deserve to be with and around the ones who can never get used to all of the awesomeness that your are.

 

Your magnificence, in all of its glory.

 

The unique work of art you embody.

 

They may not even consist of people you speak with everyday. But these one(s)... whenever you do speak or get together, you’re reminded of pure, unadulterated love.

 

Go where the love is.

  

“But… everyone around me is against me. People hate on me for no reason”. There has to be one, two, maybe three people at least who you know love you genuinely.

 

No? Then you need to change something.

 

Maybe you need to also sow love in others. After all, you cannot get what you don’t give.

 

Maybe you need to be less assuming, less judgy, less of a basket-mouth, so that genuinely kind and loving people are not just drawn to you, but actually stay with you.

 

Or… maybe not. Maybe you are perfect the way you are. But you have just never opened your eyes to and tapped into the love within your reach.

 

If you do nothing else in 2022 (and beyond), GO WHERE THE LOVE IS.

 

Revel in it. Soak it all in. Breathe it back out. And take more in.

 

The love? Enjoy it.

 

Love,

 

Meg. ❤
