those of us who are sensitive and kind hearted often have the easiest time accepting and forgiving others but not ourselves. I have had moments like this of a memory and then self-awareness and healing. We are human as Judith said. it is fascinating how one thing said to us shapes us and we are the ones who have to shatter the illusion of the power of those words from someone who knew no better. I have recently realized how one person blaming me for all their problems because i got a chronic illness in college and then trying to make me suffer for it has taken a toll on me in all ways and also how I just accepted this as "normal" or thought they would change. I learned better. A good therapist helped me to realize this and process it too...It is about being kind to myself in the face of cruelty- being kind to myself by accepting love and healing from those who can accept me and love me for who I am. My mom used to tell me words are so important- especially the ones we tell ourselves. I realize how right she was...Thank you, Evelyn. It is an ongoing process and one that we can meet with kindness to ourselves
