This is my reminder to be gentle with myself today. Today I am healing. Today I am growing, today I am evolving.

And that requires patience. Kindness. Love. Gentleness. All things that I suck at offering myself.

I find myself in the middle of a vulnerable time, I feel exposed. Seen. Like the most shameful moments of my life are flashing on a giant screen for others to see. Will people think less of me if they know the truth? Will people feel sorry for me if they know? Will people blame me?

The pain is real, the memories bring up feelings and my anxiety rises.

Lord, give me a safe place to fall.
