compassion

Why compassion? Because I learned to be more accepting of myself, and to reflect back on moments and feelings where I wasn’t too compassionate towards myself and others. And with that growth, I received more, crossed paths with like-minded people who caressed, nourished and sensitized my inner expansion. My heart was becoming full. External compassion reflects internal compassion. I no longer pushed away parts of myself, and parts of others that were experiencing pain. I no longer rejected those emotions as means of self-preservation, self-defense. I no longer numb my discomfort, and my vulnerability.
