"You're good enough just the way you are. Stop trying to please others and start thinking about yourself. Ultimately, you are your own foundation, best friend and savior."
Telling this to my younger self would be futile though. She wouldn't understand.
I wish I could bring myself to do this. Even reciting a mantra would be enough. Loving yourself—all parts of yourself,
wholeheartedly—is the only way to move forward. Unfortunately I can't bring myself to even look at, let alone forgive, my younger self who
sold her soul to Mummy and Daddy...
No amount of reason will let you get through to her, and she'll never stop gravitating toward her two idols!
I'd tell her that she'll never heal from her trauma so she might as well ctb at 12 years old.
Me too. I should've used my lupus diagnosis as the perfect opportunity to end things. Sometimes things just seem futile even when I'm in therapy and doing parts work.
Making the same mistake at work even after I apologised to the customer sent me into a shame spiral. Some things happen just to remind you that you'll never do everything right...
