Letter: To the part of me who looks back and smiles

Hey you,

Can I just start with thank you? Thank you.

For years, the majority of my mental and emotional energy was spent battling itself. And while skirmishes happen from time to time, if I didn’t have you, I’m not sure I would even see how often my mind and heart are at peace with one another. Nothing is perfect…well, actually…I kind of think progress is as perfect as we can hope for. And without you, I may not have ever even thought to write the last sentence at all.

Letter: To the part of me who quits before I’ve begun

My dear,

Hello. It has not been quite as long as I’d hoped it would be since the last time we connected. If you remember, we decided to take a break when I was really vibing with The Part of Me Who Can Envision My Full Potential. I know you think she’s full of herself, but I think she’s a badass. Anyways, I just thought you’d stay away for a bit longer. I’m still trying to understand why I can’t quite shake you…but I guess that’s the point of self-acceptance, huh?
