I don’t know where the self-judgements came from
I don’t know what is stronger; the messages I formed from society, my family, or my ancestors
What I do know is that my self-judgements put a wall between me and the life I want to live
What is the point of being this hard on myself?
Who said that I came with a rule book?
I carry it with me everywhere it seems
I pull it out when I don’t want to agree with what I’m doing even though there is always a reason why I do the things I do
Can I give myself grace?
Of course I can
Do I know how?
Not really, but I can can learn
