Forgiveness for yourself
I struggle with feeling fear about exposing myself too much in in-person relationships. I have this habit about predicting the worst case scenario.
when I start to feel good and positive. Something in me likes to undercut and hurt me before anyone else can. I know it's crazy!!!
I was talking to the abbess today about the intensity of some kind of situation but then I doubled back and said, that it's probably what I listen to within myself more than anything else and she agreed.
So I'm understanding my nature a little bit and I'm trying to forgive myself for all the imagined and real faults I have.
its tough as I feel like I've got a very mercurial relationship with my body, mind and consistency I can offer.
but again I'm going to try and forgive myself and think maybe we all are on a spectrum of that kind of thing.
peace and big love out to my peeps on DS!!

This is probably my biggest struggle and I can't seen to overcome it
I hope that working through some of these thing in such a spiritual setting will help Marky
Please let me know if it does....xo
here in my dotage, i wonder if my youthful compulsion for comparison was a circuitous route to self-forgiveness. if i can forgive you for being LIKE me, maybe i can forgive myself for BEING me. works still in progress.
until then. . .
i'll beat you to the punch on whatever meanness i fear you intend to throw at me.
Thank you so much Jan and Arfie!!
