Little By Little

To the one who has yet to notice her reflection,

Before moving on from wherever you are, take some time to slow your pace, find a mirror, and look. Doesn’t have to be for long. A quick glance will do. And there’s no need to judge what you see, easy as that may be. You might notice parts of yourself that you’ve grown used to and forgotten to acknowledge over time. For example, the calm acceptance you now have when remembering yesterday. Your restored sense of anticipation for the unknowns of tomorrow. And your smile, now worn with confidence, which says that today, you are better than okay. Taking that moment to stop and stare can help you see these things. Go on and look. Admire if you’d like. Make some changes if you need. Little by little.

Sincerely, Esther
