So beautifully said. Your words always make me pause and reflect, and I'm grateful for that. I've noticed myself being more judgmental lately--with myself and others--and I don't know where that's coming from, In some ways, I think it's a defense mechanism.

I've been in kind of a bad place lately and was just reflecting on things. I've been very judgmental lately as well. But we are all a work in progress. Thank you for really reading what I write. It means a lot.

Reading this felt like stepping into a personal journal. So raw and honest. I could really feel the emotion in what you wrote about judgment and fear, and the way you spoke about love was beautiful.

I struggle with judgment too. Lately, I’ve been learning that so many of us are carrying something. Even someone who seems arrogant might just be sleep-deprived, unwell, or grieving. We never really know what others are going through.

I’m learning to accept that I’m imperfect and might slip into judgment sometimes. But I want to keep growing, to be more compassionate with others and with myself.

The first step of change is recognition. You're well on your way. I appreciate the kind words. I find that honesty can always be seen in our writing. So, when we're honest people can feel that and see it.

I try to just be honest. Sometimes what I say doesn't always get the point across but writing is how I can truly speak.
