Day 190: “Therapy Wins”

---

Historically

I’ve felt embarrassed when I cry in front of others

Especially people I don’t know well…

Or at all

---

But tonight

I cried

I cried

And I cried

---

In front of people

---

I spoke and shared what I wanted to

With tears in my eyes

And a frog in my throat

---

I didn’t know I’d be so emotional!

---

But I shared

And I cried

And I cried

And I cried

I felt what I needed to

---

And I didn’t feel embarrassed

I didn’t feel judged

By others

---

But that wasn’t the point

I didn’t judge myself

---

Another win from therapy
