Subject: When I Spoke Kindly to Myself
Last night, I had a dream – one of those emotionally tangled ones that stirs up old memories. I woke up feeling agitated. Disoriented. Touched by shadows from a time that no longer defines me.
And then something surprising happened.
Instead of clinging to those feelings or letting the day spiral,
I sat quietly on my bed and said:
“Everything happened for a reason. It was meant to be, in its own strange way.”
I reminded myself: I got through it. I grew from it.
And most importantly – I’m in a better place now.
The agitation softened.
I moved through the day gently. Kindly.
I let the past drift back into the past, where it belongs.
It struck me that I hadn’t spoken to myself that way in a while.
Not with correction or critique – but with recognition and peace.
Reflection:
Self-kindness doesn’t always come with affirmations or pep talks.
Sometimes, it’s as simple as choosing not to carry the weight of something again.
