Monday Memo|Detail No.103| May 27, 2024|

Hi there,

It's a brand new monday.

Your might want to personalize this as you read.

Shall we?

In all the world, there is no one else exactly like me. Everything that comes out of me is authentically me because I alone chose it. I own everything about me, my body, my feelings, my mouth, my voice, all my actions, whether they be to others or to myself.

I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my fears. I own all my triumphs and successes, all my failures and mistake, because I own all of me.

I can become intimately acquainted with me by so doing, I can love me and be friendly with me in all my parts. I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me, and other aspects that I do not know, but as long as I am friendly and loving to myself. I can courageously and hopefully look for solutions to the puzzles. And for ways to find out more about me.

I’m going to keep being me in every natural way possible. That is what makes me feel good. Beauty truly does come from within. To me, beautiful is when a person smiles, laughs, cries and loves. I need to be me and only me.

However I look and sound, whatever I say and do, and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time is authentically meIf later some parts of how I looked, sounded, thought and felt turn out to be unfitting,I can discard that which is unfitting, keep the rest,and invent something new for that which I discardedI can see, hear, feel, think, say, and doI have the tools to survive, to be close to others, to be productiveto make sense and order out of the world of people and things outside of meI own me, and therefore I can engineer me.

I AM ME. I am not perfect. But I’m working on myself. Working to become the best version of myself. I am working on myself, to continue to expand my own self, through my own work, in my own way.

I AM ME Not the ME you think I AM.  Not the ME you want me to BE… Just ME. The one I want to BE.

I AM ME. I make my own decisions. I don’t follow. I walk my own path. It's not always easy, but I’d rather walk alone  than walk with others in the wrong direction.

I AM ME. I am strong. I have a big heart. I speak my truth. I don’t back down.

I AM ME. I don’t settle. I go after what I want.

I AM ME. I accept you. I accept everyone. As they are. As they want to be.

I am me and I AM OKAY.

Yours truly,

OO.
