“We are grateful to Henning Christoph, a German photographer, for this
photo of a sign outside Old Oraibi in the Hopi Nation, one of the two

sometimes i wish i could grab my childhood self and shake them by the shoulders and say YOU’RE GOOD. YOU’RE WORTH LOVING. THERE ARE PEOPLE WHOSE LIVES ARE MADE BETTER BECAUSE OF YOU. YOU ARE NOT A BURDEN. YOU ARE NOT DAMNED. SOMEDAY YOU WILL CRY OVER SUNSETS AND POETRY MORE THAN YOUR OWN PAIN. I NEED YOU TO REMEMBER THAT YOU’RE GOOD. YOU’RE WORTH LOVING. but i can’t go back in time, so i say it to myself now. because i believe there’s a future version of me looking back on this moment feeling the exact same way.
