I was paid two very sweet, very heartfelt compliments today. I wanted to refute them, but I kept quiet. Why must we be so unkind to ourselves? Why is my knee-jerk reaction to someone telling me I'm a good person, "No, you're wrong"? Why is it so hard to believe that it might be true?
I tell people they are good in spite of their faults all the time, and I believe every word I say. I need to somehow start believing it about my self...
