Get a job at a bank. Go to a winery on the weekend. Learn to drive. Get a pet. Order the wagyu steak. Take yourself out for ice cream. Buy expensive French flax linen bedding. Tell yourself it’s all about love, and love is service of others. Every now and then, encounter something to hold onto and remind you life is worth living, like a flower designed by nature beyond your imagination of beauty.

Your whole life you felt less than. You told yourself if you lost weight or had a nose job or double eyelid surgery or cheekbones that jutted out or a better job you’d be worthy of love. But you were always beautiful, intelligent, enough. Even when no one was looking. Even when they looked but couldn’t see.
