Sometimes I wake up and have to remind myself: "There's nothing wrong with me. I have patterns to unlearn, new behaviors to embody, and wounds to heal. But there is nothing wrong with the core of me, and who I am. I am unlearning generations of harm, and remembering love. It takes time."

If you liked playing in the dirt as a kid, and want to get that fun, carefree feeling back as an adult without getting stared at, garden. Plant flowers, plant vegetables, but plant something.
