Shame is the result of a lack of love.
Think about that for a moment and how shame has shaped you like a shadow over your soul.
We are all human, we are all imperfect and unique. Being “weird” is normal. If we were all the same; how would the world move forward?
Why should we be ashamed of our human nature, of who we are?
Shame has no place in true love.
And what happens when we stop fighting with ourselves or with each other and choose love?
What happens to the shame and the fear and the hate?
Can’t we see how they’re all the same? They’re sprung from a lack of love just like darkness is not an entity in itself but a lack of light.
A shadow is not a being but a shape formed by blocked light.
The shadows and the light exist together as one.
Keeping that thought in mind; realizing that my light and shadow are all a part of me,
I can see
Love has always been the answer.
From the inside, all the way out to the rest of the universal life we all embody.
To process shame, fear, hate from the inside out
I start with loving myself, knowing that I can only love others as deeply as I love myself.
I give myself the permission to love, to admit I’m worthy of my love.
To see the dark sides of myself (or what I’ve been taught are dark sides) and love them anyway, knowing that’s where I need it the most- where I haven’t received love in the past. To shower every part of who I am with all the love I can fathom.
Knowing that right now, the only change I can make is how much I choose to love.
And forgive.
Because I can’t change the past.
But love changes everything for the future.
Just like a light shining in a cave.
I can feel the radiance of love through my heart to my entire body and soul, searching through the shadows.
Then:
I take that love in my heart and I shower it over every lifeform I know and see: the easy AND the difficult. Just as I did for myself.
I won’t pick and choose who or what is worthy of my love based on external parameters.
We are all in this life together, today.
And today I choose love.
Love. Just love. ❤️
