Ruthie: I'm like, listen, when you finish this, forget me. Forget my name. Forget my story. This is for you. Healing is for you. This hope is yours. This love is yours. You don't need me. I'm going to get the fuck out of the way so you can do this journey because you're so deserving. I feel like the healing journey is remembering what's so right with us, not what's wrong with us. It's an unlearning more than anything else because I thought I was so broken. I believed that. I thought my body hated me. It was the source of this pain, so I thought my body had just completely failed me. Now I'm like, oh, my god, this beautiful body that’s just been loving me and holding me and holding the divinity within me and calling me home and just protecting me and being so strong and so resilient and loving me so hard when I hated her. I think all of these painful things that happened ultimately were all these invitations to come home to myself and to do this work. If my life had turned out the way I thought it would, I would be a very surface-y human that would never have woken up, that would never have gone so deep, would never have been able to be a good friend, honestly, an empathetic friend. I wouldn't be able to show up in the world the way that I believe I can now and have the honor of getting to now because all those things happened. I wouldn't change it. I wouldn't change one single thing because I know it all created me to be this human that I have the honor of getting to be today that's messy and that makes tons of mistakes but also is filled with so much goodness and wonder and beauty just like every other soul on planet Earth.
