When I was younger, I thought everything was a transaction.
If someone gave me a compliment, I had to give one right back.
If someone gave me a gift, I had to find something to give them in return.
If I received money? Oh no… now I owed them forever.

Even compliments turned into this weird tennis match.
They’d serve me one… and I’d scramble to hit it back.
Usually with something completely inauthentic like,
“Uh… you too!” 🙃

It didn’t feel good.
It didn’t feel real.
And it definitely didn’t let me actually receive.

Now I just let it in.
I smile. I say “thank you.”
And I actually feel the warmth of the moment.

Because receiving isn’t about owing.
It’s about allowing.
It’s about letting good things land without guilt.

You don’t have to trade, prove, or balance the scales.
Sometimes… you just say thanks.
And eat the cookie. 🍪
