Don’t others see how much I’m hurting? Can’t they see I need help? Don’t they care?
The
issue is not whether others see or care. The issue is whether we see
and care about ourselves. Often, when we are pointing a finger at
others, waiting for them to have compassion for us, it’s because we have
not fully accepted our pain. We have not yet reached that point of
caring about ourselves. We are hoping for awareness in another that we
have not yet had.
It
is our job to have compassion for ourselves. When we do, we have taken
the first step toward removing ourselves as victims. We are on the way
to self-responsibility, self-care, and change.
Today,
I will not wait for others to see and care; I will take responsibility
for being aware of my pain and problems, and caring about myself.
