Sometimes I Talk to Myself

I found this in my notepad from September 17th.  Don’t remember writing it. That’s not unusual. But sometimes it’s like I’m leaving messages for my future self. So here ya go, Self.

Do not give in to the shadows
that try to overtake you.
You are important.
You are light.
You are vital
to the balance
of the universe.

Someone somewhere needs
to hear your voice today.
Reach into your soul and know
by providing love,
you will receive love.

We are all connected,
past, present, future.
Take strength from those
who have found a path
through their nightmares
to find your way
through yours.

Be courageous because
courage is within you.
Feel the love
others have left for you.
Then pass it on.
