Dear Brittle Mai - It Does Get Better After It Got Worse
My dear friend Yetti asked me to be a part of her Self-Love series where we all wrote letters to our past selves to let them go and let them know we’re growing and safe now.I wrote to my past self from just a few months ago. Yes, as in who I was just a few months ago was a complete contrast to who I am now and she needed someone badly to help her out of her darkness.We talk about healing our inner child, our younger selves who needed the person we are now to console and comfort her, guide her and redirect her. But we don’t talk about healing our past selves just a moment ago, just a day ago, just a month ago. When we tell ourselves it’s a practice, it is quite literally not about seeing ourselves in different phases or levels to pursue (this isn’t a video game!) but rather seeing ourselves every single day. Practicing how to ask ourselves what are we feeling right now and what do we need from ourselves in this moment?
