To everyone out there who's holding on to shame.
Perhaps the shame of a time you didn't like how you behaved in your life.
Where perhaps you lashed at someone you loved, or you were mean or ungrateful.
I'll tell you this, again and again - you were only trying your best to survive.
Because it's so hard to make sense of why there is so much hurt in the world.
Why anyone would want to make us feel unloved, neglected and miserable.
And being hurt people, we could only do what we knew at that time.
To respond back with hurt, like a never ending perpetuating cycle.
But you, look at you now, choosing to heal.
The fact that you feel shame or guilt?
That's the "real" you acknowledging what you can no longer ignore.
Because you know that there's a better version of you ahead that's in store.
No longer wanting to be the "hurt" version you, knowing you were meant for more.
And look at you, again, still going despite how hard this is.
Well done, brave one.
I think you're a miracle.
So thank you for the fact that you're even trying to stop spreading on the pain.
What an amazing being you are, and I'll say this again.
You're a miracle.
Take care,
Hernping
P. S. Dedicated to C. A wonderful light for others even though you don't even know it. I hope you shine on. Go on, burn brightly.
