"Dear Human,"

You’ve got it all wrong. You didn’t come here to master unconditional love; that is where you came from and where you’ll return. You came here to learn personal love, universal love, messy love, sweaty love, crazy love, broken love, and whole love. Love infused with divinity, lived through the grace of stumbling, and demonstrated through the beauty of messing up. Often. You didn’t come here to be perfect. You already are.

You came here to be gorgeously human: flawed and fabulous, and then to rise again into remembering. But unconditional love? Stop telling that story. Love, in truth, doesn’t need any other adjectives. It doesn’t require modifiers or the condition of perfection. It only asks that you show up, do your best, stay present, and feel fully. That you shine, fly, laugh, cry, hurt, heal, fall, get back up, play, work, live, and die as YOU. It’s enough. It’s plenty.
