This is beautiful, Sheri. Thank you so, so much for sharing this inspiring piece. You've made so many valid points here about some all-too-common attitudes that don't do us any favours.
One of the most important lessons I've learned is that there will never be a good outcome from any decision that is based on fear. Clinging and fear have no place in creating happiness in any aspect of life, relationships, etc. And certainly not in how we feel about ourselves.
Sadly, fear is often the source of our pain. Such a waste.
Thank you for a brilliant read. 💜
