A Gentle Reminder Your life is not better or worse than someone else’s. Every person’s life has highs and lows, good and bad, laughter and tears. You don’t have to push away the experiences that come to you. There is nothing there unworthy of you. Indeed, if you look without bias, you will see that there is no lesson that comes without a gentle reminder that you are loved and valued exactly as you are. From Everyday Wisdom by Paul Ferrini www.paulferrini.com I love this..
Someone pointed out to me the last month or so that what I experienced in my life is very minor to what others are currently experiencing or have witnessed. Almost as if I should be over it, have processed it, or be appreciative that I ONLY went through what I did. I agree there is a lot of pain and suffering taking place in this world, however to diminish one person's human experience and compare it to another is not what I feel this journey is about. Each of us has picked and was born into the life we are currently in for the specific lessons our soul needs/needed to become even more enlightened. Being sexually abused as a child IS something that needs to be fully processed and embodied. I am appreciative for this life and the love that surrounds me, however my BIRTH right is to fully experience MY emotions the way they present themselves to ME..NOW in this moment. We are all on the same journey and I don't wish to label ones more difficult or easier than another based on their "story". Dear Child...whether you were abused, witnessed a death, your parents divorced at a young age, you are poor in a third world country, rich but feeling empty, or simply failed a test...it is ALL the same. One's pain and journey cannot be compared. Feel and embody your emotions and journey. Do not feel guilt or shame as you look outside and compare..thinking "I shouldn't feel this way..there is a lot worst out there". If this feels like YOUR worst then it IS :) AND guess what my dear one...it is your right to feel the way you do. You have all the love and support you need to process these emotions. Look inside at YOUR experience and not outside to diminish and suppress the authenticity of emotions that are arising. At the end of the day we are all one...I feel your pain of being abused, witnessing a death, being confused about your parents divorcing, starving in what seems injustice, empty with abundance, or feeling not enough while glancing at that red circled number at the top of your term paper...What's 'worse/low' for one soul may be the 'better/high' for another but that is okay...we are free to experience OUR life the way we are MEANT to. And in all that remember....we are one <3
