Personal Journal - Giving Myself Some Grace

by Celosia Senho

This morning, I have a slight sense of foreboding, but it stems more from what we are about to do (going to find a Wyvern and put it out of it's misery) than what I have experienced recently. With so much going on lately, I find myself doubting my own abilities, my own strengths, and I really have no reason to do that. I'm a very intelligent, wise, persuasive, and likeable individual and I perhaps hold myself more accountable than I should. Certainly more than others hold me accountable. And I judge myself when I don't live up to my own ideals, case in point, last night after hurting myself for testing that ring before at least trying to identify it. I wallowed in my own self worth and doubts, consoling myself with mead, wine, and leftovers from our frankly wonderful meal.
 
And then this man, this honest to goodness, practical, caring, supporting, adorable man, comes in, listens to me beat myself up for having feelings and not being perfect and then proceeds to suddenly put my current moment in life into perspective. To top it off, he is also not lying to me. Believe me, I checked. I'm not used to having someone be so honest with me that was not family. I really do like it. I really do like having him to balance my mind and calm my emotions. I am starting to be scared of the moment it goes away, but I shouldn't think like that. And this next statement is probably at my rawest point; do I deserve such support and care? Tarryn seems to think so and so I should take his advice and give myself some grace.
 
So, I, Celosia Sehno of Sharn, do solemnly swear that I will stop putting unnecessary pressure on myself. I will act in a way to do what is right and what is necessary within my own convictions and will stop doubting my own self worth to be loved and cared for by someone wholly unrelated to me.
