Life could’ve been far less scary if I were only allowed to feel my feelings.

I’m grateful for my therapist, Kristin Neff’s work on self-compassion, + Maggie Sterling’s podcast for helping me reach this point where I actually allow my feelings.

For decades, I was afraid to feel my feelings since I was told I’m too sensitive + constantly told to stop crying.

Few people in my life have encouraged crying. It is needed. 💟
