I can’t believe the amount of shame and judgement I brought upon myself for so long for not being perfect.

Like SERIOUSLY?

Where was the room to miss the mark, to make mistakes, to learn and grow?

Yes, I daily strive for a better version of myself and to be better than I was yesterday but grace, compassion, and love for the places of myself where I struggle are also a necessary part of the human experience.

If you’re being hard on yourself, stop. Breathe. And remember that the things that bring you shame are the very lessons you came here to learn. You are on a journey love.
