A Love Letter To The Divine Misfit

Divine misfit, I see you. Recently, recognizing your light has been hard. This kind of darkness is familiar, and that annoys you. You have made leaps in your life’s journey and they judge you for it; the way you have chosen healthier habits, or the very way you carry yourself. Your eyes have finally allowed you to see the true colors of the people you assumed would show up, would celebrate you, would tell you, I’m proud of you.

Right now, you don’t feel like you’ve lost something. You feel like you’ve lost the world. Your world. Your people.

Divine misfit, I feel you. During these times, someone else blinks back in the mirror. You have been questioning the decisions you have made and your life these days. You have been wondering if maybe they were right. They say you think you’re better than them—just for being you—and you’re beginning to find reality in this mind flower. 

Divine misfit, I hear you. You want nothing more than to be accepted, to be free, and to be free, and to free.

Divine misfit, you just want to be understood. You want the parts you so naturally gave away—grace, vulnerability, and aligned frequency—to be returned in full.

Divine misfit, these are not your people. A true community will lift you, even in your darkest hour. Your people will remind you of their belief in you not with words or a late-night text but with the bountiful wing of their actions. The person you are searching for—the person who will lead you to the abundance you so feel is missing—is you.

During these times, speak this truth into existence: You deserve better, not tomorrow or a year from now, but for the remainder of your life’s journey. Forgive those who still have growing to do, not for them but for yourself and closure’s sake. When you’re ready, give life to what your future self would want for you by graphing the very steps that will speak dream into reality.

Divine misfit, you are going places. They may not understand where you’re coming from or your dreams, but you do. You have made the necessary steps to get to this point in your beautiful story, and you understand that continued growth will take patience, perseverance, and a student’s mindset.

For people like you, the connections you have been struggling to let go of may eventually cross paths with you, just with a different name and face. Dealing with these kinds of strangers may prove trying, but you will have the benefit of the mind flowers you harvested from past experience. The truth is, there will always be someone who won’t understand, and that’s okay—continue onward and lead with the grace of morning and the will of a wildflower.

Divine misfit, you are not wrong to let go of what no longer brings bloom to your life. You are not “mean” or “bad” for making the decision to invest your time in chemistry that returns in full. You are not “rude” for voicing your boundaries, nor are you “complicated” for explaining to them why it was hard to enforce a boundary in the past. 

Divine misfit, you are human. You are divine for the unique way you make your way in this world; a misfit to those people, past and forthcoming, who receive your presence as a looming competition to their own. 

Divine misfit, you are here.

What does this moment ask of you?
