Reality is going, and maybe this is a good thing. My one responsibility has been to be a good person. It doesn't take much to be a good person. It just takes meaning it.
Daniel had me confused at times with his accusations. He tore me and my sense of self down. I was in so much pain. I've hated myself, I've adopted his worst opinions of me as truth, when they weren't. I wish I hadn't hated myself so much. But maybe these are the cleansing fires, and when I walk through to the other side, then maybe I can be myself again without fear or shame or sorrow.
I might have the sorrow still, but I will no longer hate myself. Maybe that's what this journey is.
I am tired, and there is no shame in that. There's no motivation or intention. I just am. I will speak kindly. I will think kindly. And I will rest. And there is nothing to be ashamed of.
