I think we all need reminders of positives, so this is mine right now for you:
I hope you remember always that you don’t deserve to be hurt, not ever–not even by yourself.
You do deserve to be treated with compassion, empathy, and love by others and by yourself.
I hope you take good care of yourself. And I hope you keep connecting with others. We need those connections. And we need to treat ourselves gently and kindly, as kindly and gently as we would a friend.
Love to you all,
Cheryl Rainfield, author of SCARS, STAINED, HUNTED
