exactly.

Sometimes I repeat what bothers me about what others say (or what I imagine they said) about my expression as if I were saying it. that makes me inevitably see within me what I was not facing before.

thank you for bringing all that. 

 As long as you're aware when you say it, there's value to be had.

Just don't judge yourself.

Thank you too Polyanna. I've enjoyed this exchange immensely. 🧡
