BE BRAVE GIRL

These days are crushing to my soul. In almost every way, I have experienced new levels of how humans can be cruel to one another. When people are cruel to me, my heart races and I want to lash out - explaining myself over and over again that I am in the right for how I feel. Sometimes I have gone so far as to demean them and be cruel right back. Not today though. And never again.

Now, I am taking the road less traveled. The triggers that cause me to lash out are not as touchy as they once were. I see how people are in pain, how confused they are and how much they want everyone to know their pain. This is what I have to say to you:

I know. I see your pain. I see you. Thank you for pointing out to me that I need to be more compassionate, more evolved in my responses. Thank you for being my teacher.

And leave it at that.
