"If you bring the bricks from your past relationships w/ you, you will build the same house."
My intention - find the strength to be bigger than my fear.
Give myself credit for being human -- not a GOD.
I am of this earth, of these cells, I deserve some affection for time served, so why can't I give it to myself? Why can't I give myself some slack?
I know the answer: because I am afraid it will all fall apart if I let go even a little bit.
