"You are still being guided right where you need to be."

When you have seen the things you hoped for fall apart before your eyes, it’s especially hard to take in this loss when you consider all you have put into this. But I hope you know that’s it’s okay to be uncertain in that place. It’s okay not to know what tomorrow looks like. It’s okay to grieve what was. What you lost was important to you. It was a meaningful part of your life. And even though you might feel the pressure to figure things out, things will never be the same, and that’s difficult to come to terms with.

In that place, may you keep this on your mind, and in your heart: the tired, weary person you see in the mirror right now still has a strong soul beneath it all. You are still filled with Light, even deep into the night when all you can think about are the unanswered questions in life.

You are not worthless.
You are not useless.
You are still filled with life even though life looks a little differently now.

And even though your life will never be the same, you will still grow in beautiful ways. And whether or not you will meet everyone else’s expectations of you, Light will still pour through. You will still grow in the way you were meant to.

For any uncertainty in your life right now, it can be so hard to remain positive and confident that you can still have a meaningful life here. But I promise you, it is possible, even though it will look a little different than what you were expecting.

So take heart.
Breathe deep.
Let yourself continue to believe:
you are still being guided
where you are meant to be.
The journey ahead will be anything 
but easy
and there is so much
uncertainty
that still lies before you,
but there is also
an open road before you
that you have been invited to take;
a road line with a thousand
little daily decisions
you are still able to make
to find joy in the little things
and hope in the unexpected
trusting that you will still be directed
and you will not miss out on this life
no matter what it ends up looking like.

More tomorrow...
Sincerely,
Morgan Harper Nichols
