A very important TO DO ❤️

A random reminder, but a very nice one, nevertheless!

My dear friend,

I found this little note in an old and battered notebook I used for my to-do lists. It doesn’t have a date or anything! So I don’t know where it came from or for what purpose did I write it. But it made me smile!

So, I just took it as a gift from Ani of the past… And I wondered if it might make you feel good too! So I’m sharing it here with you ❤️

Do you ever worry

Are you beautiful enough to be loved?

Well, look around you.

I invite you to do this exercise:

GET OUT OF YOUR PHONE.

Go for a walk,

preferably where there are lots and lots of people.

The park - The mall - A ferry - The bus.

Look at the couples.

Are they ALL super insanely hot?

No, they aren’t. Seriously. Take a good look.

Couples come in ALL KINDS of shapes and mixes. Think about it.

He loves her. Love handles, wrinkles, white hair and all!

She loves him. No hair, big belly, warts and all!

LOOK CLOSELY.

Look so very close that you ACTUALLY stop seeing the person in front of you, the fellow human, the comrade in this journey of living on the surface of the earth, and ask yourself:

DOES THIS PERSON DESERVE LOVE?

Do they deserve to be loved?

Now, go back to your home.

To your school. To your bathroom. To your car.

Look at the mirror and stare at the magnificent beauty hiding inside your eyes. That deep pool of mystery and magic.

Ask yourself -

Does this human deserve love?

And from there, you can just go ahead and answer:

YES I DO.

I DESERVE LOVE.

You deserve love, my darling friend!!

And I’m sending you lots of it ❤️❤️❤️🥰

Big big hugs!

- Ani
