Are You Too Tender for the World?

The places that we feel often the most insecurity and the most shame are exactly where our core gifts lie. We care so much in this place that we either get really hurt or we suppress these parts of ourselves, which is a trauma in its own right. And I would just like to take a moment to honor the sadness and the loneliness that all of us have felt when the world tells us that they're not allowed or sexy enough. Just to acknowledge the grief, the loss, theoneliness that we've had to hold around our hearts for years.
