A Self-Compassion Series: Me is We (pt. 2)

Being human isn’t easy – we all know this. If you’re not willing to allow yourself to show up imperfectly, are you really going to be able to allow others to do so? I don’t claim to know it all, but from where I sit and what I observe, it appears that a lot of the world (or maybe just my world) is divided in their thoughts and beliefs about what is and what should be. There seems to be more of a need to “be right” than to actually understand perspectives and experiences… In understanding and caring for your own human experience, we learn how to better show up for others in theirs. We were never meant to be perfect; we were meant to be people.
