But before that will ever happen, it means I need to accept myself for who I am. Which is so f@#$%& difficult! It's been the topic of therapy for weeks now, the fact that I'm clinging to childish wishes that will never be fulfilled unless I figure out how to fulfill them myself. And until I let go of those wishes, I'll never be able to process what I didn't get, and move forward into a world full of things I did get, and I do have.
Once that happens? Who knows, maybe the world will reveal a person who falls in love with the me I've been trying to hide. That'd be kind of nice, dontcha think?
Love that quote (as always! You have a talent for selecting quotes that speak directly to me a lot of the time).
ReplyDeleteAnd oh, I know the feeling. There's a freedom in showing the most vulnerable and secret parts of yourself...but it's terrifying at the same time.
I have a copy of this quote in a frame - it's one of my favourites:
"No need to hurry. No need to sparkle. No need to be anybody but oneself". (Virginia Woolf)

I LOVE that Virginia Woolf quote! Might have to make a quote-graphic out of it :) I like that you have framed quotes, too... I have them all over my house in little square frames. They usually make me smile, for the most part. I try to surround myself in smiles, so when I'm short one, I can get it from somewhere else xoxo
