Good Morning,
Last night my friend sent me a song by Nirvana, titled “Come as you are.”
I fell in love with that title right away.
What a beautiful thing it is to be loved just as you are. I’m not sure how many of you really understand the magic in those words. COME AS YOU ARE.
Those words are saying it does not matter what your hair looks like, how much makeup you have on, what scar you have, what you know or don’t know, what fears, insecurities or baggage you have, what car or house you own, what job you have, your sexual preference or what clothes you wear – You are loved and accepted exactly as you are. No need to change, no need to get any better, no need to be wiser – just as you are. ‘As you are’ means exactly as you are in this moment. In this now. Not your past you, not your future you, just YOU as you are right now.
When someone tells you to “Come as you are” they do not care about what the world thinks, they just want you there with them. What a beautiful thought that is. You are Appreciated for all you are. You are Accepted for all you are. You are Allowed to be all you are. AAA.
I sometimes go to the shop in my bedroom slippers. No one really cares hey. We judge ourselves more than any else. If you knew the truth about how much people really thought about you (in a negative sense) you would be pleasantly disappointed. People really are too consumed by their own life than you spend time thinking about all that’s wrong with you. But we magnify what they think about us don’t we?
So be you. Be free to be you. As I may have said to u before:
To BE YOU is to BE YOU TI FUL.
You don’t need to prove to anyone how awesome you are. You don’t to prove to anyone how special you are. You don’t need to prove to anyone how great you are. If they haven’t see it already, they never will. Rather give your time & energy to people that do see you for who you really are, as u are.
Its 5am in S.A. Fancy an icecream?
Its ok, Come as you are.
I love u!
Love,
H
