“To let ourselves be seen, deeply seen, vulnerably seen, to love with our
whole hearts, even though there’s no guarantee, that’s really hard, and I can
tell you as a parent that’s excruciatingly difficult, to practice gratitude and
joy in those moments of kind of terror, when we’re wondering, “Can I love you
this much?”, “Can I believe in this this passionately?”, “Can I be this fierce
about this?”, just to be able to stop and, instead of catastrophizing what might
happen, to say “I’m just so grateful, because to feel this vulnerable means I’m
alive.” And the last, which I think is probably the most important, is to
believe that we’re enough. Because when we work from a place, I believe, that
says, “I’m enough,” Then, we stop screaming and start listening. We’re kinder
and gentler to the people around us, and we’re kinder and gentler to
ourselves.”
