When they can not see your divinity

When they cannot acknowledge your worth and value to this world

I hope you remember

I hope you remember how divine your existence is

How divine it is for you exist beyond the walls of lies in which people have so comfortably imprisoned themselves within

How divine it is for you to have realized there were no walls to begin with

Just lies people tell to themselves

Because it feels comfortable to them

Because going beyond that goes against everything they have ever known

Because going beyond the lies can initially feel like the most daunting task

Because seeking inner truth is never easy

Do not receive the negative energy others try to pass on to you

Trying to bring you into their own misery

Because somewhere along their life they were told they could not be as free as you

Free from the confines of the lies they were made to believe and build their lives off of

Free from the self-hatred and prisons of insecurities disallowing them to grow and live authentically free

Be free and remain free

Be your own safe haven

Be the one you love most

Be so free and at peace that nothing and no one will shake you from your own love

Remain in your own energy

Naturally creating a force shield of love for yourself

That does not allow in the negativity they try to throw your way

I hope you give back to yourself the love you so devotedly and freely gave to others

Who were not able to appreciate how divine your love and existence is

You deserve to be recognized and appreciated

Yes, by others

But most importantly

Yourself
