Encouraging signs

Let this be a sign unto you,
amazing one:

You are enough.
You are magic.

And yes, embrace your mistakes.
And look for the signs because,

it turns out, they’re everywhere,
if we only have the eyes to see them,

messages from the unseen ones
cheering you on.

You’ll think they’re not,
But they’re for you.

Like this. Right here.
Right now.
