I'm sure there's an old saying knocking about the ages with regards to age being no factor in wisdom and I think this is true. I've been told a few times that I am wise beyond my years. I don't know if that's true but, to those who said it, thank you. I really does make me happy to hear that.
Wisdom is knowing that you know nothing and have everything to learn.
Today I learnt that I will not always feel sad or upset by my past. I never thought that I would look back and smile. But, I did. Albeit, very briefly but I most certainly did.
To be able to look back to my childhood and smile is not just a triumph but a wonderful and loving gift to myself. I thought I would never be able to do that and there I was, cracking the tiniest smile.
I know that some parts are still to buried to uncover but I have to take it step by step. I have to be gentle with myself and trust that I will get there in my own, good time.
Give yourself a loving gift today. Smile at a photo that once hurt you. Grin at a hidden memory that caused you pain. Show those bad feelings that you're not messing around. You deserve to have your memories and love them. You have the power. You have the strength.
