Don’t pity me for trying hard things.
Don’t feel bad for me when I struggle.
Don’t judge me for my mistakes.
Don’t use my efforts as your excuse.
Don’t scoff at my sacrifices and service.
Don’t ridicule me for taking a risk.
Don’t diminish the beauty of my dreams.
Because.
I am trying hard things, by choice.
I am struggling; that is how I grow.
I do make mistakes; that is how I learn.
I am intentional with my efforts; that is how I evolve.
I am sacrificing comfort; because I love adventure.
I am taking risks; because I have learned from regret.
I will continue to dream; because I believe in beauty.
So.
Show me support through the hard.
Show me love through the struggle.
Show me grace through the mistakes.
Show me acknowledgment of my efforts.
Show me gratitude for my sacrifices.
Show me respect for my risks.
Show me belief in my dreams.
Then.
The hard will not be you.
The struggle will not be shame.
The mistakes will not be mutual.
The efforts will not be in vain.
The sacrifices will be worthwhile.
The risks will result in reward.
The dreams will expand into reality.
Such a beautiful, deep and artistic piece. Thank you for sharing.
