It__ okay to hesitate before plunging from your comfort zone.It__ okay to have scars, pimples, insecurities, moles, cellulite, tremors, debts, redness, regrets, loneliness and uncertainty.It__ okay to have no idea what you__e doing.It__ okay to struggle with some things, while enjoying others. It__ okay to find joy in the beauty in life, even after a great loss. It__ okay to change. It__ okay to move on. And it__ okay to fear changing and moving on.Wherever you are, and whatever you are experiencing, is okay. You didn__ invent the universe and you didn__ invent the human condition.You don__ need permission to live whatever you__e living, even if it looks and feels different from anyone else__ life around you.

And I was warm and I was loved and I was finished. Complete. I don't understand about theology or dimensions, or any of it, really but I think I was in heaven. And now I'm not. I was torn out of there. Pulled out by my friends. Everything here is hard, and bright, and violent. Everything I feel, everything I touch this is hell.
