The only “upside” is a fleeting dopamine hit in a favorable comparison. It’s interesting how empty that feels, and therefore easy to release. The unfavorable comparison still sticks sometimes even though it’s equally empty. Parts stuck in a conditioned past, that in the end just want unconditional love, are tenacious. Loving and accepting them wholeheartedly seems to be the only way to let them go. It’s a work in progress here. Thanks for another great post!
