I'm wondering...if my next major hurdle is a better understanding of my response when people despise me or say that I am not something that I should be.
I wrote this a while ago—how am I doing?
Self-diagnosis is hard—we tend to be either too hard or too easy on ourselves. It is helpful, but also conspicuously tempting, to need the perspective of others.
Sorting it all out; the magic in this dilemma seems to be in trying to be as open and aware as we can be AND still being willing to take risks. An imperfect process to be sure, but perhaps therein lies the secret.
