Maybe I’ve shared this before, but I’m really feeling it this evening!
As a naturally optimistic and cheerful sort of person, I’ve struggled with this all my life.
Somewhere I got the idea that I should be okay all the time. So then I learned the skill of denial, so the things that actually were bothering me wouldn’t get in the way of my “being okay-ness.”
Now I’m much more comfortable sharing myself — warts and all — with people. It’s taken me well into my sixties to get there, but as they say: better late than never!
