Sometimes YOU have to be the one to save YOU. YOU have to go and get the YOU that was left behind. YOU have to be the one to pick YOU up and breathe life into the YOU that is exhausted, lifeless, and just there.

Sometimes YOU have to be the one to grab YOU by the collar, snatch YOU off the ground, hold YOURSELF up, look YOURSELF in the face, and speak the life into YOU that YOU need to hear. Sometimes YOU have to have the hardest conversation, with YOURSELF, and take it in, YOURSELF, in order for it to mean what YOU need it to mean, to YOU!

There will come a time when YOU realize just how much YOU matter to YOU. That YOU are only, and will ever only be: as strong, or as safe, or as secure, or as significant, or as successful, as YOU decide to be!

YOU need YOU.

YOU need YOU to care about YOU.

YOU need YOU to love YOU!

YOU need YOU to believe in YOU!

YOU need YOU to believe YOU!

YOU need YOU to SEE YOU!

YOU need to acknowledge YOU!

YOU need YOU to trust YOU!

YOU need YOU to forgive YOU!

YOU need YOU to help YOU!

YOU need YOU to heal YOU!

YOU need YOU to push YOU!

YOU need YOU to pull YOU up!

There will come a time, NOW, when YOU realize how powerful YOU are, how important YOU are, and how necessary YOU are. When YOU recognize that YOU are entitled to, and due, and deserve, just as much happiness, peace, respect, love, honor, consistency, consideration, confidence, and whatever else contributes to wholeness, as anyone else!

YOU might have left “YOU” back there as well. Back in some trauma, some mess, some tradition, some habit, some loss, some hurt, some pain, some drama, some mistake, some immaturity, some ignorance, some misunderstanding, some BS, some expectation, some limitation, some reservation, somewhere other than right here.

And here is where YOU get YOU back, say what YOU need to say, do what YOU need to do, and live YOUR life.

For none other than the most important reason of all, because that’s what YOU deserve.
