Buddha

Today, I have a little message for you.

All I want to say to you is that

You are safe.

All I wish for your heart to understand is that

You are perfectly safe.

All I want to whisper in your ear is

You are majestically safe.

You deserve to realize is that

You are inherently safe.

Because you, my love, are safe.

Simply. Non-negotiably.

And even more than that, it is safe too. Yes, it is.

It is safe to eat.

It is safe to gain 20 pounds.

It is safe to lose 10 pounds.*

It is safe to enjoy a croissant, or two or three.

It is safe to drink a green smoothie and go for a long run.

It is safe to overeat at times.

It is safe to show your bare arms.

It is safe to highlight your lips.

It is safe to be bigger than your mom.

It is safe to be the thinnest in the room.*

It is safe to have a big nose.

It is safe to have a sharp mind.

It is safe to stop dieting and start living life.

It is safe to feel anger, happiness, resentment and shame.

It is safe to cry, let go and laugh until you can’t breath no more.

It is safe to be rejected.

It is safe to be accepted and to receive.

It is safe to be successful and to follow your dreams.

It is safe to be yourself, feel yourself, heal yourself.

It is safe because you are safe.

You are safe no matter what she says.

You are safe no matter what he thinks.

You are safe no matter how they react.

You are safe no matter who looks at your plate, glances at your butt or frowns at your hair.

You are safe.

You are safe because your self-worth is inviolable – no matter what you eat, how you look or who you are.

You are safe because you’re more than a body, so damn more than a shell.

You are safe because the size of your jeans doesn’t determine the size of your heart.

You are safe because the fries on your plate aren’t more powerful than the longings of your soul.

You are safe because the scars on your skin and the pain in your chest will fade away.

You are safe because you’re still here, still going, still breathing.

You are safe because you are not too pretty or too ugly.

You are safe because you are more than your name, more than anything.

You are safe and you are loved.

You are safe.

You are safe.

You are safe.
