When you let go of the negative self talk, you also teach yourself to be more compassionate and accepting of your own flaws and theirs. You learn to broaden your level of understanding and see everything with kinder eyes — That humans are inherently good despite our complexities and our own baggages. That everyone who’s hurt us did not intend to hurt us. That we try to do what we think is best in every moment. That sometimes, our comprehension of their actions based on how it made us feel reflects our own insecurities or trauma. Once we learn to accept that, we allow ourselves to be more forgiving. And when we learn to overcome old patterns, we allow ourselves to heal. I have come to terms with knowing that no good comes from resistance. That accepting only what feels aligned will serve our highest good, even if it feels painful. Pain is the price of knowing what it means to love, and gratitude always comes after it. And no matter how inherently good people are, some could not meet us where we’re at. I am where I am as love touches me. Having my heart broken for as many times as it have doesn’t diminish my self worth. I love and have loved before. I know better each time.
