‘You are safe here…’

You are safe here…

My heart settles in the fact that my family and my friends are my safe space. I’m surrounded by people who love with everything they have.

Not everyone has that privilege. Not everyone feels safe around people who are supposed to care for them. I haven’t always felt safe around people who were supposed to care for me either.

If I want to make anyone feel a certain type of way it’s safe. Safe to say what they feel. Safe to live like they are free and safe to flourish how they should.

In public I feel the most vulnerable. In public I feel the most insecure. I hope that when I step into the public eye I make others feel safe around me just like I want to feel safe around them.

You are safe wherever I am. You are safe here
