I’m just thinking that self love needs to be unconditional. And that the healthy person can know he’s a sinner and still live life to the fullest. I think love in a family needs to be the same. I know that isn’t always easy. Some wonderful people in my life can still grate my nerves. That’s just being human. The more I let their faults float down the river, the more I can excuse myself.

I defend myself all day long IRL. but it doesn’t give me the confidence I crave but it gives me satisfaction. I gave the old biker a ride to the train station after work yesterday. I work on an army base. I told the old guy, "The best part of my day is when the soldiers act cowardly and like bully’s. With all due respect to veterans on here, I think you guys understand. The biker sure did and he laughed.
I was pretty embattled…real or imagined. it was just one thing after another for a few years. I really learned to defend myself almost all the time…
“its good to be not guilty” that your life is worth freedom and good times…that’s what I learned
I think having a loving and supportive social network is the key to overcoming any hardship. Or rather not overcoming but tolerating and withstanding.
I love myself but I also tend to hold unrealistic expectations of myself as well.
I have trouble giving myself the time to come down to earth and make practical goals. We get brushed aside so much. I lost the art of giving myself love, attention and stick-to-it-iveness…
I still need to learn that lesson
