affront
tender_square
when
i
am
upset
with
myself
,
which
usually
occurs
when
i
consider
how
my
actions
affect
others
,
i
’ve
had
a
nasty
habit
of
berating
myself
,
of
insulting
my
own
intelligence
simply
for
being
a
human
with
my
own
complicated
wants
and
desires
.
this
morning
,
i
almost
walked
that
hard
road
i
’ve
taken
so
often
it
’s worn
the
soles
of
my
shoes
.
instead
,
for
the
first
time
,
i
opted
to
step
into
a
meadow
of
self
and
i
sat
with
all
those
mixed
-up wildflowers,
the
bouncing
grasshoppers,
the
slithering garter
snakes
,
and
the
scurrying
mice
that
make
up
an
entire
ecosystem
of
me
.
