heading towards bed. Trying to remind myself;
I don't know for sure that I'm a terrible, deficient, worthless person who is now past any chance of getting anywhere in their life. I *do* know for sure that I had a crappy childhood that passed on all sorts of terrible messages, and that stress - and I've been stressed - pulls me back towards those hostile thoughts. Occam's razor definitely suggests a more self-affirming conclusion, here.
@Leucrotta I applaud your logic, comrade. 💙
@Leucrotta I know for sure that regardless of your crappy childhood, you are a good, sufficient, worthwhile person who still has plenty of opportunities in life. You have decades ahead of you. Take advantage of them. Reject the hate you received as a child; absorb the love you receive now from the people who care about you, and direct that energy into the things you want to do. Many of us have faith in you, and our faith can fuel your engine as you move forward into a new future.
