What Would Unconditional Love Want You to Know Today? | Elizabeth Gilbert

What would unconditional love want you to know today if it could speak to you? I call it the internal terrorist self-talk that most of us were raised to think is a perfectly normal way to talk to ourselves. And it's all the things that essentially I've always wished that somebody else would say to me, that somebody would just say, like, I've got you, and I'm here with you, and I'm not going anywhere, and you actually don't need to improve or change or perfect yourself in order to earn this love. It can't be earned, it can't be lost. It's just your birthright, and it's gotten me through the hardest things in my life. It's gotten me through two divorces, an addiction crisis, the death of the most important person in my life, through all of this. One day at a time, there has been this voice that's accessible that's like, it's all right.
