Someone needs to hear this…

Someone needs to hear this.

I recently mentioned an encounter with a doctor/psychologist/homeopath medical professional, in which he made me address my imaginary past self out loud about previous traumas.

Early in one of the first conversations, the good Dr — and I use the term lightly — stopped me to suggest I not be so hard on myself and use kind words. “After all, you are the only real friend you will have for life, better to be kind,” he said.

So I said to myself, in my head, “listen up mofo, there is a new sheriff in town and he ain’t gonna take your…”

And that’s when I realised words matter and how you speak to yourself matters.

The world can be a nasty place, why make it even harder on yourself… I told myself in the friendliest tone possible.
