Today, I thought about everything we experience during our transition. I don't mean the specific "I need this next," but rather the long-term big picture.
We start out as our Old Self
™ and eventually evolve into our True Self
™. I don't regret Old Self, although he made many mistakes. Underneath, he suspected that True Self existed, but he had no idea where to look.
Over time, I transitioned and realized that what Old Self did was just how he needed to respond to the situation he was in. He taught me so much that has shaped my life in very good ways. So I forgive him.
Once I accepted myself, my True Self, I did not become somebody else. I incorporated all that I am into one person. I found that this gave me peace, despite the daily struggles.
Then I heard this song again. I have always liked it. But today it seemed to mean something different. It is like Old Self is telling me how he searched for me, and now that he is forgiven, we can get on with our life together.
