This is my favorite quote that I discovered in college. It echoes the wounds of my childhood, and resonates with me, over and over again:
“When I was young, I thought that I had to be perfect for people to love me. I thought that if I ever did something wrong, their love would be withdrawn…
We need to give ourselves permission to be human, to try and to stumble, to be momentarily weak and to feel shame but to overcome that shame with moments of strength, courage and generosity.”
-H. S. Kushner, You Don’t Have to Be Perfect To Be Loved
