Dear Friend Project
Dear Friend,
I think you are absolutely beautiful. Maybe not in the conventional beautiful, but really, what is "conventional beauty?" You are beautiful because of the quirks, the flaws, and the undeniably wondrous essence that is you.
I don't believe that the "beauty" the media portrays can ever quite capture the beauty I see in you. You. You! You are real. You have depth. I want to get to know you and all your insecurities just so I can banish them from your mind. You are so completely perfect with all your flaws and quirks that I can't believe how a single negative thought can be even thought about you. It may be difficult for you to see, but everyone else sees you the same way I do-beautiful.
My Manifesto Project
I. In this moment, nothing is wrong. This moment, right here, right now, is absolutely perfect. Any thing I perceive as a problem, an issue, or a stressor, is just a reminder that I am disconnected from the Now.
II. This includes me. Right now, right here, I am absolutely perfect - just how I am - without moving, without changing, without thinking, without doing anything.
III. I surrender, trust, and accept that every experience in my life is here for a reason.
IV. I recognize that all suffering is due to a lack of acceptance of what is - a non-acceptance of what is happening right now. As soon as I accept whatever situation I am in, the situation lets go of me.
