Looking for the small joys is so important.
A warm, delicious meal. A long drive. A good book. A scented candle.
Whatever it might be for you, treat yourself to the small joys today.
Remembering isn't the same as holding a grudge. We can remember without ill will after letting go of the hurt and moving forward with the insight we gained.
You may be a person with empathy, but don't expect others to empathize you, Coz they wont, and you end up getting hurt.
So its very important to empathize others and also be a tough nut when it comes to your own emotions.
The best part of being authentic you is that there is no image to maintain.
You will delight some & disturb others, and none of it will concern the truth of your being.
Cox you are precious to you.
Just because you are kind, caring, loving, and forgiving dosent mean you are dumb to understand peoples sarcasm. It means you have a strong will than them.
