this remains my practice
From small annoyances of friends to big grievances with my family, I’m practicing accepting them.
I’m also practicing accepting myself. I recognized some of the self-critique and self-doubt yesterday, but held it at bay, and simply said to myself, “You can work towards anything that you want to, and the past is the past.” In those moments I was accepting myself for my flaws and my strengths, and that feels new to me. I’ve always been able to do one or the other, not both simultaneously.
Good. Good.
