you are not a mistake.
you are not a mistake.
you are not a mistake.
and your life is so much more than what you think it is.
oh, lovely heart, you are not simply the result of human desire.
you are here because you have a purpose that no other soul could ever fulfill quite the same way that you can.
and if you were not here? you would be missed.
and if you stepped away? you would leave behind an empty space.
if you only knew how many things worked in perfect synergy so that you would be shaped and formed.
you are here, at this time, for a reason.
there is no voice more important than the one within you.

start by telling yourself this:

i am not a mistake.

{📷 I am not a mistake}

do you remember the story of the Edwardian child’s dress that I cut up a few weeks ago?

here is the first textile piece that is stitched from some of the pieces of that little dress.

you are not a mistake and if you have ever been told this, it is a lie.

If this is you, start untangling the lies that other bodies have given you—start by telling yourself that you are here for a purpose; you are not a mistake.

may this truth root itself so deeply within you that nobody could ever wrestle it from you.
