My love, I know you learned to be hard on yourself. To push. To criticize. To believe that if you could just do better, be better, heal faster... everything would finally settle. But that shame didn't bring you closer to yourself or your truth. It only asked parts of you to shrink and disappear. Wholeness doesn't arrive through pressure. It arrives through permission. Through allowing every part of you to belong... to be enough. You don't need to become someone else to heal or be whole. It's about remembering who you are beneath the self-judgment. And that remembering happens gently. Always.
