A casual acquaintance came up to me on Monday and said "I need to tell you that your beautiful soul shines out of you." I was flabbergasted as no one has ever said that to me. And it's certainly not how I would describe myself. I stumbled and hem-hawed and was heading to my "Oh you must be kidding" deprecating response.
But instead I said: "Thanks, I'll take that."
In the past people might have described me as hard-worker, smart, sarcastic (cringe), quick-to-anger, opinionated, nice but never as having a beautiful soul. And I believe there are people who's light shines from them.
Mostly darkness came from me because I thought I had to be tough, I had to hide that softer side, the side with the feelings, the side that got hurt. The vulnerable parts.
I've changed a lot of that and I guess it does show.
The wall is coming down, brick by brick.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering. Caroline Myss
