I have always tried to solve myself because I was treated like a problem. When I think of lavishing love and comfort on the parts of me who are terrified and feel unlovable, I feel a tearful, whole warmth, like I'm being put back together. So I am going to completely love on the parts of me who wish they didn't have to feel what they feel.

"The world is bursting with wonder, and yet it’s the rare productivity guru who seems to have considered the possibility that the ultimate point of all our frenetic doing might be to experience more of that wonder." - Oliver Burkeman, from Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals

"He is a bold surgeon, they say, whose hand does not tremble when he performs an operation upon his own person; and he is often equally bold who does not hesitate to pull off the mysterious veil of self-delusion, which covers from his view the deformities of his own conduct." - Adam Smith

I was sifting through old emails because I kept getting those warnings that I was running out of storage space; I've had this email address for almost 20 years so it's quite a time capsule. Often I cringe, but today I cried. In old correspondence with my partner, I shared this quote and the realization that my unrelenting people-pleasing for a sense of safety and security is ultimately a weapon I wield against myself. I was wondering if I could ever just BE with someone naturally, with acceptance and communication, or whether it would always be too terrifying and foreign. It's 3 1/2 years since that message and I can say that I can. I never thought I would get here and couldn't have planned or foreseen all that I needed to go through to get here, but it's well been worth it. Having someone who "impossibly" loves me as I am and was willing to fight me for myself has helped dissolve the patterns of trauma-informed clinging and avoidance. I have an unprecedented sense of safety, connection, and hope now. I hope you can love yourself in a way that you can feel free. I hope you get to feel that love, and give that love.

Thich Nhat Hanh" The logo at the bottom reads: Ugly Therapy.
