Thank you once again Sabrina for your beautiful writing and your honesty. Seven Senses never fails to shine a light on parts of my own humanity that are obscured or hidden in the shadows.
I’ve been doing quite a bit of traveling with my boyfriend in the past few weeks and I’m late reading your latest missives. This one is a gem! It feels like I’ve just unwrapped a thoughtful Christmas gift. Thank you, Sabrina! Im grateful for your reflection on making mistakes and choosing to give ourself - and others - some grace instead of spiraling in a self-made pit of doom. As a recovering perfectionist I know this dynamic oh so well. I hope I’ll be able to join you for meditation soon, and in the meantime I wish you peaceful, curious, restful, kind days in-between the years ✨
I hope you’ve been enjoying your travels (and disconnecting a bit!). I’m glad this resonated with you Claudia - making mistakes is such a normal part of life yet it’s interesting how we (humans) react to it. Learning a lot from being on both sides of the equation! And I look forward to meditating with you 🙏 thanks for the beautiful wishes - may your end/ beginning of year be filled with wonder ✨
"Part of me is offended by the “move on” part – shouldn’t we carry a good amount of guilt? Shouldn’t there be some sort of emotional punishment when we mess up? How else will we rectify our moral failing?"
Just sent this to several friends who I know feel this so deeply. A lot of unlearning isn't it?
oooof that's a heavy thought, isn't it! I don't even know where/when this belief got planted but it's sure grown to invasive proportions! I hope your friends find some relief from this. 💛

Thank you - honesty seems to be the best remedy to shame 🤍

This is such a heartfelt piece, Sabrina. Thank you!
Thank you Jolene. These types of “confessions” aren’t easy to write but often liberating.
👍👏👏👏
