I've been here. This is tough. You're OK. You're not weird.

Wherever you are, whatever you're dealing with, take a deep breath. Go inside yourself.

Say "Hey, what's up, what's the vibe in here?" Just listen. Anything you hear, validate: "Yah, I hear that."

Form new connections with yourself. Ask questions. Get to know all the different parts of yourself. It's possible, and it will change everything.

I know this sounds crazy. Just try listening to yourself with gentleness and understanding. You won't be sorry you did.
