I Hope You Feel Safe Today

I hope that whatever your fears are today… you find a safe place to land. I hope that if you’re struggling today… you find a warm embrace. I hope that if you need love today… you find a welcoming heart. I hope you feel safe today. With love, Ndapewoshali A.

But make it sound like

Naked.

I hope reading this makes you realize that you too are extraordinary!
