Today I tried to engage with more compassion towards others and myself. I realised, a little sadly, that because bad things happen so often to me, I expect the worst. When something good happens, I end up feeling lost, gulity and kind of undeserving as if I cannot love myself. I realise too, that my thinking can be changed. I deserve a good life. I can have a good life if I choose. I can be, and most of all, want to be a better person to myself. Then only can I be a better person for others around me, and stronger to handle life's ups and downs. This Christmas day I reflect on my angst and acknowledge it in order to understand how to let go.
