Even my inner critic is still a part of who I am.

I finally get it now—the person society made me is also me.
And I need to forgive that person and lean on God.
Don’t judge yourself; just offer that version of you to Him.

“Everyone tells you to kill off the inner critic, the part of you that’s full of self-hate.
I thought it was pure evil, too.
But today, I’m forgiving it all.
Even if it is ‘the devil,’ it’s not my place to judge.
I’m leaving it in God’s hands.

It’s funny, it’s actually way easier this way.
Forgiving and loving that broken part of me feels so much better than trying to erase it.
