Sep. 27th, 2010 10:11 amShame is what keeps most people from speaking about their weaknesses. If we don't talk about it, if it's only in our heads (unexamined), then perhaps the record will be clean; no one will have to know that we're unworthy.
So I just thought I'd say that I think your flaws give you character; that you are brave for admitting them at all, even if it's only in the privacy of your head; that we all have our own timelines for dealing with the broken pieces of ourselves.
Often, I'm surrounded by people who are relatively competent, who have intact childhoods and who I think couldn't possibly get it. And maybe some of them don't -- but a lot of them do, and they sympathize, even if they're busy.
Friends are wonderful like that: even when they're dealing with their own stuff, or overwhelmed with the landscape of their own heads, they often find the time to understand anyway.
Anyway. Thank you.
