I always thought I was toooooo honest & on the face...for a long time I hated that aspect of me terrified I'd hurt someone. But as an adult it's drastically changed! As the trust in myself increases, I realise how much people crave for that honesty and perspective. I always tell them to do a free back and forth...and the depth of conversations, respect and understanding is beautiful ❤️.
Also about my traumas. It's allowed me to develop deep deep empathy for others (especially women) which wouldn't have happened otherwise. I genuinely believe I wouldn't have been the person I am today without any of the incidents. And I love myself today. So how could I not love my past too?
Yes! We wouldn’t be who we are today without the challenges, and if we love ourselves now, how could we not love the past versions of ourselves too, and all that she encountered? I love that perspective. Thank you so much for sharing your insights from these prompts!
It’s interesting that this has appeared because I have a challenge at the moment that I said to my husband “what am I meant to learn from this?” I guess in a way it’s being able to see it for potential to grow and learn rather than as some kind of punishment. I’m not quite sure I can be grateful for it yet, but I’m not resentful. I’m giving myself time and grace to reflect on how I might respond and the steps I can take to move forward with expansion.
Absolutely, giving yourself time is so key! And sometimes we need a lot of time, haha. But being open to seeing it another way is always a good step to take. Glad you found this exploration interesting/helpful!
