gentleness
4 years ago
i don’t realize that i’m so hard on myself, but people often tell me that i am. i can’t make myself be gentle; that’s completely defeating the purpose. but i can put my right hand on my left hand, like someone suggested yesterday, and say, ‘you’re great’ or ‘you’re good enough’ or ‘i like you’. i can embrace the younger child. i can go to a mirror and smile at myself.
the little things that can make a big difference.
