I hate myself -says me. I love myself -says Me.
Oh my gosh God is so good. -says my Higher Power. Life is so, so hard and scary. -says my wounded inner child, Gertrude. (Wounded inner child Bri has been named Gertrude, to remind myself that although she is a part of me, she also, paradoxically is not “who” I am. Does this make sense? …
