I had some little joy-tears well up today too while talking with t - when I shared with her that I'm beginning to accept my whole self - that I am by nature a sensitive, emotional and loving person and that's just who I am - and that with all of the insensitivity and hate that exists in our world today, I am needed out there in the world exactly as I am - and I'm just done shaming myself for being sensitive and emotional. I'm done! My parents shamed me my entire growing-up years for being emotional and I took that behavior on myself after I moved out of there house. No more. T grinned and clapped for me. That made me feel good.
