Many of us go through life weighed down by insecurities. These self-criticisms arose from others’ judgements, and mainly our own. We bought into the significance of these assertions and perceived something to be ‘wrong’ with us. But criticism can’t ever be tied to the truth because, by its very nature, criticism or judgement is a fabricated, human-made meaning. Without created meaning, there simply is. We simply are. We are OK. We aren’t good or bad. We’re just who we are. And in the void left by criticism, self-compassion becomes our default. Loving who we are takes no effort or intervention.
