“a heart that changes shape when something moves you

Say this to yourself as much as you need to hear it…

‘Being affected by things is beautiful.’

As overwhelming as it can get… it is beautiful. And your heart may get a little worn out and weary at times, but it grows and expands and makes space for more… more beauty, more love, more compassion, more passion… you are moved, and affected, and changed, and expanded by things, and it’s beautiful.”
