Yesterday’s lesson in Self-Compassion.
Sometimes life is hard and it leads to strong emotions. It’s okay to feel strongly. You have valid reasons to feel those emotions. You didn’t consciously choose to feel that way. You are experiencing.
Be self-compassionate. You are learning. Allow yourself to be softer as you experience your emotions. Accept your feelings, call them by name “frustration, anger, disappointment, grief…” Identify where, physically, they cause tension, hotness, etc. and soften the edges. Gently ease them away.
It’s okay. You’re safe. It’s okay to feel negative emotions. Love yourself gently. You deserve your compassion and kindness.

Today’s lesson in Self-Compassion.
Past and present consult through pleasantries,
passed notes through different pens.
I am my own sage.
My northern star.
An empress.
Wise woman.
Gem.
Clacking cacophony tells what’s next.
A written and signed piece.
Am I talking to you?
Or talking to me?
Messages partially received.
Finding my hand through the darkness.
Bend photons on optic nerves
Is it Pink Floyd or Panic,
Destiny’s children
Impossible twists and turns.
I am the guiding principle.
The depth and hollows of space.
Traverse through time and pave the way.
For myself, I will always remain.
Compassionate.
