When I'm lying in bed at night with my own fragility thinking about what I might do differently, I never think to myself, "I wish I had proven myself right more often" or "I wish I had given them a harder time" or "I should have been less patient with so and so". No. I wish the opposite. It's so hard to hold onto that in the moment when you feel like you're being wronged, mistreated, unseen or unappreciated but when you let the intensity of those feelings sit and, instead of acting on them, simply view them and sit with them without judgement, it helps you to grow and become the person you want to be in your wiser, quieter, more vulnerable moments. Some see vulnerability as weakness. My whole life has taught me it is the opposite. You can be vulnerable and incredibly strong.
