You don't always receive what you give but what you give is a reflection of who you are and that's the part that matters most

I’m so grateful that this book was consistently recommended to me. I’m slowly starting to understand what’s inside it, and I’m noticing less shame and rage in how critical I am toward myself and how I relate to myself in general. I’m really grateful for that 😭💔. I hope it lasts. I also feel grief and sadness coming up.
