Hello Reader,

If you try to kiss yourself in a mirror, you will only be able to kiss yourself on the lips.

With kindness, Steve Mattus

P.S.: This is a beautiful metaphorical reminder that the only version of you that there is to love is the one who's kissing you back in that mirror. Right here. Right now. There is no other, better, different, healed, expanded, more capable, aspirational, or more worthy version of you to love - only the one you see reflected, here in this present moment.

P.P.S.: Yes... you... the you with the limitations, wrinkles, grief, anxiety, pain... the one who snapped at your friend when they didn't deserve it... the one with the bump on your head (where did that come from)... and yes, even the one who threw away that perfectly good taco... yes... that's the one to love. There is no one else here.
