Have you ever written yourself a love letter?

Have you ever written yourself a love letter?
I was challenged by a friend to do so. I thought it sounded like a lovely thing to do, but I had no idea where to start. I put it off for a week or two but I kept thinking about it. I finally put the pen to the paper today and the words just poured of out me. It felt good to write it and even better to read it back to myself. :heart:
It feels very scary to share this publicly but I know that it’s so important to be vulnerable and authentic. We need more love and positive energy in this world right now.
So now I’m challenging you to do the same! It might take you a while. It might be a struggle. It might be one paragraph or 4 pages long.
You might be surprised at how much you needed to see or hear these words. You are worthy of love. You always have been. :heart:

Wow! That’s really cool! Where did you come up with that idea? I can’t even imagine! I’m 57 it’s been such a journey. Not sure I have the strength at this moment to do something like this. Either way, I appreciate you sharing this! I’m constantly amazed at how incredible and powerful we can be when we are in recovery :pray::peace_symbol:

That was such a beautiful letter to yourself. I truly moved how highly you spoke of yourself and encouraged yourself to persevere. That was very strong and brace of you too. Thanks for sharing that. It was what I needed and will definitely be writing my own soon.
