@spiralstudio.com: reading human life through nature.🦜 today's lesson: the parrot and what it can teach us about self-hatred. sometimes the voice judging you isn't even yours. someone criticized you, compared you, made you feel like love required becoming different - and eventually they left, but you kept their mirror. so you keep attacking the reflection, hoping one day it will finally become good enough. but the reflection only returns what you give it. but there was never an enemy in the mirror. only someone who learned to look at themselves through eyes that were never kind. spiral studio
