I deserve to show myself the same compassion I show others. And I deserve to receive the same compassion I show others. It’s time to start practicing “No Blame, No Shame”. It’s time to love myself for who I am and accept myself for how I feel. I often say things to others that are hurtful and burdensome but I know that what I say comes from my own pain, not from malice towards others. I am crying out for help; I am asking to be heard. Not criticized. Not rejected. Not blamed. I am asking for patience. I am asking for relevance. I am asking for validation. I am asking for forgiveness. I am asking for unconditional love. I am asking for compassion. I am asking for grace. I am asking for peace.
