believing in magic (adriennemariebrown.net)

this is for anyone having a hard time believing in magic, who also knows it is important to do so.
so first, notice if you feel magical. if you do, just keep doing you. show others.
if you don’t feel magical, open up. this may mean relinquishing some armor, dropping your shoulders, forgetting the gates of your heart. only you know where or if you are closed, i cannot tell you.
it is all beyond your control. awe is the appropriate response to muster. feel that you are in a magical world that doesn’t even need your belief to work.
remember: you don’t have to cultivate being magical, that is your default state, i know this from loving children. it is the default of every child i have ever ever met, and every human starts off in someone else’s hands just being a miracle.
unlearn your disbelief, hold your cynicism loosely, and listen for the zing up your spine that let’s you know you are fully alive, in a magical world, in the only moment that exists.
