@yana_camacho: today’s journal entry

bratziana ☆ :

i always admire naturally gentle people, like “how can a person be so pure and kind in this cruel world?” i wish i’m like that too. but unfortunately, i grew up absorbing pain and reflecting rage, then i became the person i never wanted to be. don’t get me wrong, i don’t hate myself, but i wish i see the world differently.

Valour ♡̶ :

While the traits of goodness lives in you by showing kindness to others, the anger and “harshness” you speak of is you showing kindness to yourself 🫂 anger is there to make sure you don’t allow yourself to be stepped on. Anger knows better than to accept things for the sake of “kindness”.

kai𓂅.𖤓 :

oh :( thank you, stranger. i thought i was the only one

JMG🍒 :

I have such a hard time forgiving. I feel so awful that God forgives me everyday but yet I hold so much anger 💔

ella :

no bc I see Jesus’ works in you. You’re doing so so well ❤

「」 :

when i asked my dad how he is SOOOOO kind and understanding and gentle to everyone he told me “it’s something you have to learn, so i did 🙂”

jelly ੯‧̀͡⬮ :

Yet here you are, actively choosing not the be angry and harsh. That in itself is already a proof of your kindness and softness :) You are already what you're striving to be.

lina 𐐪♡𐑂 :

sahid.a :

I sometimes wonder how people who were abused still act soft and loving. I struggle in feeling angry and raged whenever i get mistreated. I am working on it but it’s somehow difficult

shannnn :

And it is so hard to learn

🧝🏽‍♀️ :

It’s so beautiful to know that there’s so many that understand you! We’ll get there on our own timing❤️‍🩹

anna :

i’m naturally like that and sometimes i feel like a pushover, like i genuinely cannot get angry and im jealous of people who know how to. i get walked all over. Im trying to learn the opposite and i’ve always been jealous of people that have it come naturally. thank you for making me realize everyone has there struggles. 🪷🩷

ann :

over time… if you continue to practice being pleasant and gentle, the anger and harshness will fade too. I say this because I’ve experienced it myself. Growing up, I don’t think I received the same gentleness that some of my peers did, but when I met them again later, they noticed the change in me. It’s a work in progress, and even if it’s not very obvious at first, it does happen.

when i read this, I agreed then i saw it was my friend that reposted it and thought “but shes so kind and gentle and loving” then I cried a bit because what if thats how she sees me too
