“Almost everyone can remember losing his or her virginity, and most writers can remember the first book he/she put down thinking: I can do better than this. Hell, I am doing better than this!

“Healing hurts. If you break your leg, there is no stage in the healing process when your leg feels better than it does after it has healed. There is pain and itching and loss of strength.

We can have self-compassion when we’re doing well and when we’re struggling—because life has treated us harshly or because we made a mistake.23”
