To My Younger Self
I’m sorry
For so many reasons.
I’m sorry
That it took me so long
To learn how
To love myself.
I’m sorry I spoke
To and about you
So negatively.
I’m sorry that I
Did not listen to
Your internal wisdom.
I’m sorry you had
To suffer for
So many decades.
I hope you can
Forgive me.

Whether you can focus a little, a lot, or none at all, none of that has anything to do with who you are, or your value as a human being.

“What does #Buddha & #Buddhism say about homosexuality?”
Nothing at all. #Buddhist practice concerns suffering, compassion, wisdom, & ethical conduct, not a person’s sexual orientation.
