We can’t make them.

I want you to be vulnerable with me.
I can’t make you.

I want you to choose curiosity and love.
I can’t make you.

I want you to build trust with me.
I can’t make you.

I want you to get it right.
I can’t make you.

I want you to do what I think is the right thing (except our definitions of right are often different).
I can’t make you.

I want you to take care of and love yourself.
I can’t make you.

I want you to do the work to choose and receive your healing.
I can’t make you.

We can’t make them.

I can and will make sure that no matter what I get from you, I will stand in my values, I will choose grace and love, I will lean into vulnerability and be courageous. 

I will not let you steal my courage.

Please don’t let them steal yours. <3
