Hope you all have an amazing weekend. Here’s a little reminder that we need sometimes…
(I’d definitely suggest watching the video but the words are just as powerful)
Come back by Chase Hughes
“There was so much wonder.
Joy didn’t need a reason.
The laughter echoed in summer evenings.
Excited just because the sun came up.
Everything felt possible.
You never questioned whether you belonged.
Pleas come back.
You didn’t need words to feel understood.
Once you danced without worrying who saw.
The stars were closer, right?
The dreams that lived under your pillow.
Barefoot through the grass.
…before the world told you who to be.
You didn’t need permission to feel this.
When did your dreams get smaller than your fears?
What if it’s okay to stop trying so hard?
When did you trade curiosity for caution?
They’ll remember your love. Not your work…
What if it’s okay being absurdly forgiving of yourself?
Please come back.
Do you still feel the wonder you once had?
When did you stop believing you were enough?
The quiet spaces in your heart… are calling you back.
That precious kid is still here.
They don’t deserve this.
You know it.
The deathbed is waiting. Don’t wait to live.
Who were you before the world distracted you?
You’ve forgotten your real name.
Say it.
I’m me.
Come back,
Please.”
I’ll catch you tomorrow.
