One of my favorite blogs that I follow is from Melody Ross (Chatterbox and Brave Girl Club founder for all you scrappers out there). Her words are such an inspiration to me that I decided to repost one of here recent posts here:
Dear Unmatchable Girl,
Today it is time for you to be kind. To you. Just try, sweet friend, just try. You are the only one who knows the parts of you that need kindness the most, and for this reason, only you can provide this kind of deep kindness that you so need.
So today, please just try to be kind to the weak parts of yourself. Be kind to your addictions and your frailties, your mistakes and all of your human parts. Rather than treating these parts of yourself with hatred and disgust, please just take hands with these parts and say, "I am with you, we will make it through this."
There are these kinds of parts to ALL of us. These parts are lonely, scared and act out in ways that make us sometimes feel ashamed. BUT, they ARE parts of us, and what if we just TRY to treat them with kindness, to put our arms around these parts of ourselves and let them know that no matter what, we will work hard to BE with these parts and teach them with love and truth.
Just try, sweetest girl -- just try. BE KIND to ALL of you. Let her know that it's gonna be ok, that you are gonna love her no matter what as she works through all of this.
It will be worth it.
You are so deeply loved.
xoxo
