If you can hear it and not cringe, if you can hear it and accept it, that's the beginning.
And from that space, you whisper it to another person.
There's a friend who's going through something and because you've gone through your coverage, you say, hey, I got some of that too.
I just want you to know that that doesn't have to be the end.
And from community and connection, we begin to spread our story.
And that spreading is why I'm here.
And that spreading is the light that we get to offer to the world.
It's our testimony.
It's right here.
It's right here.
I love that you used the word grief.
I'm an analogy girl, if you haven't.
Oh God, I love that.
Okay, so here we go.
So I think that part of the reason why we feel regret when we look at those moments in our lives that make us cringe is because we are constantly turning on a movie right in the middle and looking at one particular scene of our life over and over again and judging our life based on that scene.
If you are in a moment right now where you're flirting with the idea of learning to sit with yourself and experience compassion for what you've gone through, I would dare you to look at your whole movie in totality.
When I thought about the idea of me getting pregnant at 13, I would cringe.
Like, girl, how could you over and over again?
Now when I think about it, I feel sorry for who I was at 13.
Not sorry because of who I am, but I feel compassion.
