Putting in the effort.

I recently received a letter from one of my best friends saying that he loves me. He even stated a bunch of reasons and things that he loves about me, and our relationship. It was beautiful, and is now hanging on my refrigerator.

I’m currently having a letter-like exchange with a friend on messenger. We write long messages, and take the time to put in our thoughts in them. It’s really lovely, and gives some breathing space and intention.

There’s beauty in letting things take some time, putting some effort in to them. I’m writing my book by hand just because of that reason — for it to take time. It really doesn’t matter what it is, just as long as you let yourself take some time with the activity.

What are you giving your time to? What’s something that you’re letting take some more time than it might need, that you make more beautiful by giving it some more time and effort?
