It is my belief that the soul and body are different. While we are alive, it is conjoined, but when we die, it’s dormant (the soul). The soul is you, your personality, consciousness, memories, feelings, everything. Your body is the vessel that keeps you on the earth, that nourishes your mind, and gives you a window for your soul to grow and flourish.
It’s like reading a book, and only thinking about the paper, and not the words.
Without the paper (body), you would never be able have the words (soul). But, you cannot only think about the paper (body). You look at the book. Maybe the paper might be yellow, it’s worn. It’s not as pretty as other books. But why let it’s appearance stop you from reading the most wonderful story you’ve seen?
Love yourself dear.
Love the body that allows you to grow.
Don’t discard the book, because those pages need to be intact for others to be able to know the wonderful story that is you, my dear. And not for others. For yourself. You need to learn to read the masterpiece that is yourself. Ok?
We love you.
Please learn to love yourself <3<3
