SUNSHINE AURA – self-esteem. self-love. self-actualization. 

You don’t have to be perfect.

You can wake up feeling mean for no reason

Be a little rude when it’s unnecessary

Drive like a maniac just because

And you are still worthy of love.

You can wake up epically refreshed

Give out genuine smiles and hellos

Be there for your friends and strangers

And you are still worthy of love.

You can have a troubled past

Be in therapy to get help in the present

Not trust anyone else for the moment

And you are still worthy of love.

You can have a shelf full of medals

Memories of being popular and “cool”

Accolades from childhood into adulthood

And you are still worthy of love.

You might have two friends

You might have two hundred friends

You might prefer to be alone

You might self-isolate when life gets tough

And you are still worthy of love.

You might choose to get out there

Long before you’re ready

Seeking out the career or person or adventure

Of your dreams.

You start with shaky legs

You start with absolute confidence

You start with the breath caught in your lungs

You start with a delicious, pure exhale.

You don’t have to be perfect

Perfection is not a requirement of life

You’ll never get it right every day

But some days you’ll get it so right.

Be scared as hell

Do it anyway

Be a bit extra

Do it anyway

Be unsure

Do it anyway.

You don’t have to be perfect.
