journaling:
I don’t see too many things about myself that I could talk about in a good light. I have so many flaws. Over the years there has been only one good thing that has stuck with me.
Forgiveness.
I tend to give people more chances than most people would. I always try to see the best in people. Even when they prove over and over that they are not good people at all. I have had more than one person use me because I am “too nice” but I can’t help but believe that they can be better people. That maybe if I keep being nice, they will realize how horrible they are being. It never works that way. It takes a lot of hurt to finally make me walk away.
I love your honest journaling, Brenda, but I'm sure that there are many more things that are perfectly wonderful about you! We all tend to be harder on our selves than others would be. This is beautiful. Girly, yet edgy.
This is beautiful and so heartfelt. I was the same way for many years. In the end I realised that there is really only myself I can rely on and that has freed me so much from others emotionally.
This is an emotive, reflective page. And it resonates with me. So much. Perhaps because I feel a kinship in this feeling you have. Really can't think of a better quality though. It's mercy, at the end of things. We all could use a little more of that. And not everyone is gifted with that. Sorry it has come to hurt you a few times. Also? This page is SO pretty. Love the artsy touches. Love the cornered journaling. Love love love.
Brenda, having forgiveness in your heart is a beautiful thing and is such a wonderful positive thing to be. Thank you for sharing your beautiful words here and I know that it was a hard page for you and so I have to give huge credit for not only overcoming your negative feeling but ALSO creating this lovely page. Thanks so much for playing along with this challenge ... this is a lovely page!
