I am not perfect. I fuck up everyday. 

But I am starting to forgive myself than feel guilty and move on.

How’s the process? I find it… surprising! Like tiny, quiet revolutions.

It's very difficult and surprising!

I have a lot of things I have to work through but I know that if I keep pushing it will get better :)

I don’t know about you but I was raised thinking that self gratitude or forgiveness meant egotism and narcissism. It’s a journey to unlearn/unpack.

Hmmm that's a really good note. 

Honestly I am not sure what I was raised to think. I am starting therapy next week in hopes of unpacking this more :)

Thanks for sharing, might be the same for me!

My heart goes with you. Started therapy over a decade ago. It saved my life more times than I can count. I hope it brings as much clarity (and peace) in yours as much as it did/is doing for me ❤️ (and thanks for being so open and honest about it all).
