It’s a shame really
Don’t forget to sponsor me!!!
I was thinking (yeah, sometimes it hurts like a bitch) about something my sponsor in GA told me.
It’s a shame that we don’t see in ourselves what others see in us. She tells me all the time how beautiful, strong, courageous and smart I am. Do I see any of that? Only sometimes and that’s on a good day.
She tells me how wonderful I’m doing in GA and she tells me how proud she is of me. Sometimes I agree with her and other days, not so much.
She tells me I’m brave. I’m either brave or silly (actually I’ve been called stupid) for moving to San Diego in a few months.
Personally? I just think it’s right. It’s not brave or silly (or stupid) and it’s just something I feel in my heart is the right thing to do. How can that be wrong? How can that be silly?
I don’t know where this post was going to go, but I’m winging it today, so that’s OK!
But I have to say I agree with my sponsor. We see beauty and intelligence in others, yet sometimes we don’t see it in ourselves. Kinda sad I think. I’m working on it though. I try at least twice a day to just say “thank you” when someone pays me a compliment.
It’s like swallowing nails some days, but I do it. Why? Because obviously they see something I do not. And that’s OK with me!
Until next time….
I think our society sometimes conditions us NOT to see the good in ourselves outside or in. If we admit to it, people tend to think of conceit and shallowness.
Me? I don’t give a crap what society thinks. LOL But you probably already knew that!
