Shame has a way of convincing us to hide the parts of ourselves that are most human, even before we know what we are hiding from.
It creeps in after mistakes, vulnerability, or simply not fitting into someone else’s idea of “acceptable.” it thrives in silence, feeds on comparison, and grows when we believe its voice. But the thing is, shame is learned, and what is learned can be unlearned.
For years, many of us have believed its stories - that we were too much, not enough, or undeserving, but now, let's learning to meet it with compassion instead of compliance.
If Shame has ever tried to silence you, maybe these words will remind you: you are worthy exactly as you are.
✨ About The Letters Project:
This post is part of The Letters Project - a Kangaroo Minds series where we write the letters we needed to write, the ones we never sent, and the ones that might just set us free. So we can say what we need to say, because sometimes, healing begins with the words we’ve kept inside for too long. 💌
If you'd like to know more about out work, get involved or plan an outreach activity in your community, institution or organisation, do reach out to us through the link in our bio.
Together, lets change the way we think about Mental Health & strive to make everyday, Mental Health Day! 🌻🙌🏻
