Self-Compassionate Letter

One of my behaviors which made me feel sad and embarrassed that I was angry at my parents when I came home from school. Once I was tired and stressful because of the study at class, I arrived home and had lunch with my family. My parents asked me how school was going, and I suddenly irritated and enraged. I did not know why I could not control myself at that moment. I could not realize that they just wanted to make me feel better by opening a conversation. A worse thing was that I even did not thank my mom for that lunch she made, a great family meal, but I pulled it down. Reminding it, I am feeling angry at myself and asking if my parents disappointed at me.

I am talking to myself that “Everything will be alright!” and now start to think positively about my mistake. It can be an experience to improve me better or may be an ashamedness from it I can avoid bad behaviors. Moreover, no one is perfect, and nobody is completely bad, so possibly everyone makes mistakes, and I am no exception. Then I just consider their regards and the love given for me. Especially, not only did not they get anger at me, but they also gave me some jokes to make me feel less stressed. Parents always love their children and offer them many loves they can as long as their children feel happy and healthy. So, as a daughter, I have to appreciate that by taking care of myself like they are growing me. Besides, be always happy and optimistic through hassles, adversities, and difficulties in life. The importance is always love myself like my parents love me, and I believe these words will be sparkling hopes and best wishes for me from my parents. Now, I can feel that they are answering me: “We were not disappointed at you, so do not judging yourself. Don’t worry! Because your parents are always by your side.”
