It's a process, this letting go.
We don't exist alone. Our stories are so intertwined with the stories of others. How do we tell our own story and the stories of our pain while still being compassionate and respectful to the stories of others?
Did I say that I don't feel guilt?
My hands are shaking.
I was wrong. I was wrong about so much.
Here is the guilt...
Boundaries are appropriate and necessary...but I wish I would have set them...better?
"These are my boundaries and they are necessary for my survival and health, but if you decide that you want to battle this beast, I will battle it with you. Do not be ashamed. I will not judge you."
This is my regret.
This is what I wish I would have said.
This is the person I wish I would have been.
I call myself a lighthouse and I failed to shine a light for the person who needed it more than anyone.
This is a very painful lesson to learn. And I'm quite sure that I'm not done learning it...
I will do better.
I am so sorry.
I am so sorry.
