“Blessed are the hearts that can bend; they shall never be broken.”~Albert Camus, French philosopher
Are you kind to yourself? Probably not.
We tell ourselves…
I’m not a good writer, we say. I’ll never be published/finish a story.
I’m not good at sports.
I’m f_ _ (as in, overweight).
I could be so much more productive.
I’ll never be…
I should be…
I want to be…
Haiku Horizons Prompt #133: Bend
I’ve said all that and more at some point in my life, and that’s a shame. I don’t regret it, I’m just sad that I ever thought I wasn’t good enough.
We can all bend from what we think are our rigid thoughts. We’re better than we think we are.
We Like so much on social media, why can’t we Like ourselves for once?
I can.
I will.
So can you.
It took a long time for me to learn to be kind – to others and myself. So worth it! =D
I’m still not there. I’m trying to work through my massive insecurities – but so far, it’s not happening. lol Thanks for the great insight.

Glad to share my perspective. We all need a little cheerleading from time to time. Hugs to you!
