On March 29, 1986, a beautiful baby girl was born. Although some people (even she, herself) did not see her as beautiful. They saw her differences as ugly and shameful (even she did).
She grew up believing because of her differences she was unworthy of love, that people would not love her because she was different. That they wouldn’t want to touch her, to hold her because she was different.
So, she became guarded. She felt like if she pushed love away, that people wouldn’t get a chance to reject her , to hurt her first. But upon rejecting them first, she lost out on the possibility of love, of touch, of acceptance.
She learned she needed to start opening, to start sharing herself, to start trusting in others, that they would love her and her differences. She started loving her own differences and showing people she wasn’t so scary. That her differences were not ugly or shameful. They were just different – no better or worse.
She starting thinking of others who were different, that they all deserved love, so why didn’t she? She started realizing that she *did* deserve love, like everyone does – disabled or not. It was ultimately her own rejection of herself that prevented her from receiving love. Once she started seeing and believing her differences were worthy of love, did she start believing *she* was worthy of love.
She’s so loving too. She has such a kindness and love radiating from her. It’s time she really learns to start *receiving* the love she’s so amazing at giving out.
It’s a process, but she’s learning to open – little by little, and trust in her innate worthiness of being loved. And teaching people *their* innate worthiness of being loved.
