it’s hard at first but then it makes your life so much easier! judgement, from both inside and out, is such a big mental barrier - but once you’ve started to overcome it even once, it becomes so easy to be kind to yourself. people exist in a way that to live means we must need each other. needing more doesn’t make you any less of a person, rather it makes you more connected in the process. care creates closeness and our vulnerabilities are what bring us together.
