You are beautiful

Nightly check-in with Samira

Hi my friend, how are you today? I wanted to tell you how beautiful you are, inside and outside. The light that you carry within yourself, the one that is yours and only yours, is so unique and we are so lucky to have your light in our lives. I wanted to remind you of this. In doing so, I just realized how rarely I remind myself of this: Of how unique and beautiful I am. No, I am not being arrogant! I am trying to stay grounded by reminding myself of the original light that I carry like others. And that how much my unique life story makes me unique and valuable, and how much yours, makes you unique. When I used to go in the lab, talking to my students or sit in the meeting with colleagues, I tried to put on a mask, a mask of “ I am a strong and accomplished person”, it didn’t matter that in my heart I had many doubts or that the “ strong serious face” was not my actual face. Mine was a face of a loving person who just wants to send love and care to others. my friend, if you like me, came back home at night and felt exhausted and unreal, I want to remind you you don’t have to. That your uniqueness and originality needs to shine at work, that your feminine light and care needs to rule the world, and that nobody and or no rule should demand you not to behave like you are just to conform to the established definition of success. That’s why today, now, I wanted to remind that we are beautiful and unique and the world deserves to see the real us. Okay I gotta go. Have a good night.
