RE: The one you didn't send

in #ocd4 years ago (edited)

Hey! I made the courage and I will send it. It might hurt to receive a response, it might hurt not to receive one. Or it might not hurt at all because if you send it with just the thought of making peace with yourself that you no longer have expectations? It is difficult indeed. But yes, either way, it might hurt.

I think it has always been difficult to find the right approach to tell people that we care, that we want an apology or that we want to apologise. Our language is in the way. Words do not always do justice to what is in our hearts. And I made peace with the thought that even if people will not trully understand your pain, it is ok. I think the sense of peace might come from the courage to face the fear, the shame, the guilt, the possibility of being hurt again or being mocked/ignored/misunderstood.

I am sure many people kept their letters. As they kept their words, their pain, their trauma, their dilemmas. I just realise that our life is just so short on this Planet and we often live and act like we have the eternity to fix things or to be happy. We don't. I have just now, just today. Why bottle it up? Why supress it? Who will care in 50 years from now that I chosed to be miserable and proud instead of happy and say what I have to say? After all... Who cares? We care too much about what other people say and we think we have time that we forget to do what is right as soon as we get the chance.

Kindness is hard to practice because of our ego. Our pride. Our need to be right. To be right or to be kind? That is the question.... A mix of both is required. It is good to be kind, but not to be a fool.

I appreciate you've made the time to read me😊 Thank you!
