All these words, Ashleigh. So full of truth, goodness and profound gentleness. I can see this poem as one for loving myself well in addition to how I wish another to love me. So beautiful.
Love this so much and it’s along the lines of my most recent piece (love can be quiet too). Glad that you keep showing up for yourself and excited to hear more about how your journey of love (internal and external) continues to go.
This writing just made me realize that type of love I want and the type of love I give to myself but just didn't know how to put it into words till I saw this!! You should write a book!

Thank you Beth Anne!
“See me. All of me. Not just the parts that brought you to me.”
That. That is it.
Thank you for sharing this with us. It’s such a crucial prompt. I feel like we need to all know how to answer that one. I’ll be thinking on this.
Thank so you Kaitlyn! I'd love to see what you come up with.
Ohh Ashleigh I felt all of this! Beautifully written. 💙
Thank you so much Alex!

So beautiful <3 Yes to forehead kisses and "Be gentle with me, especially when I am not being gentle with myself."
Because some days we just need that touch of gentleness from somebody else. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this, all of the parts resonate. Esp this line: Consider me, not above all else, but I’d like to feel like a priority.
Whew 😅
Thank you, I'm glad you could relate!

Thank you so much Selena 🥹 I love when my words help others feel seen and find their own words too! A book is definitely in the works.
