All of these worries and doubts come from a place of insecurity.
A place of fear. The fear of our loved ones seeing who we truly are and leaving us.
This is the fear of rejection.
But when you know all parts of you, when you accept them all, then no one can diminish you. Vulnerability is beautiful, it is healing.
“Nothing I accept about myself, can be used against me, to diminish me.”
- Audre Lorde
