Birthdays and friendships

[catfeeder]

Cheers to you, MustLoveDogs! I hope that this will become one of your best years ever, and it sounds as though you're off to a great start.

 

It's a myth that people 'always' outgrow the petty-clicky stuff, which means that the painful ugly-duckling stuff can come along with it.

 

You had been hypnotized into forgetting to embrace your inner swan.

 

The little ducklings may have hurt your feelings in the past, but it sounds as though your awakening may empower you to appreciate their provinciality from afar--or to whatever degree you must (or desire to) interact with them. Now you can relax into understanding that just because they don't own the capacity to appreciate your unique value, this only speaks of their limitations rather than of any deficiency in you.

 

It's not necessary for any of us to view ourselves as 'better' or 'worse' than any such group, but rather, we can adopt the perspective of one human animal who's qualities simply exist outside of the others' scope of recognition.

 

The story of the swan suffering the hardship of trying to fit in with a mismatched flock is multi-generational. Your neighbors have helped you to remember Who You Are.

 

EnjOy YOU!
