Be kind

Be kind to yourself

Honor your heart

Treat yourself tenderly

Find a way,

if you can,

to face and contain your feelings

neither rejecting, nor projecting them

Accept how it feels

because you are you

a unique human being

Learn a way to self soothe

do not long for perfection

it doesn’t exist

Life is a curious mix

of so many experiences

and the energy of life

does not really care

for our wounded ego

only we can do that

only we can learn ways

to deal with and release

the inner struggle.
