Something -if anything ive learned today- is... Love your people.
Do not feel unloved, even when treated with contempt.
A lot of times.. We tend to think that we are unloved due to our inadequacies.. But, chances are they feel inadequate too.
Pain can sometimes make us wonder... why we cant get a restart on life. We may wish for it, we may pray for it, but, very likely, we will never get a restart or a do-over, ever. And that's okay. Pain can be a part of life, it's the part of you that makes you human. Many times, that pain is only meant to build you, but a lot of times, we allow that pain to break us. But sometimes, that is okay.. God is always there to rebuild us, to patch us up. We have this hope, that one day, everything we have ever gone through, will be over. In heaven there will be no pain. This is the only time that we will get to experience a variety of emotions other than joy.
So, love people. Chances are that when they treat you with contempt, they themselves are filled with a kind of pain that we may not be able to see or ever feel. Sometimes its not that they want to treat you that way, they just dont know how to connect.
Perhaps, love isnt what filled their childhood home, Perhaps only food and shelter.
Oh, the pain our parents tend to feel. A heart full of guilt, a heart full of.. Heavy burdens.. A heart full of inadequacies. Even though, you may not understand eachother, you forever know that sometimes , inadequacies is all there is . "Am I ___ enough?"
And this is the moment we can relate. We may never understand what they went through, yet the feeling of, guilt, or "Am I ____ enough" still remains, because we can relate.
So, have some grace, because if you look deeply ... youll see that as much as you love them, they love you that much more.
Sincerely,
The eldest daughter.
