Loosing myself

"I did not lose myself all at once. I rubbed out my face over the years washing away my pain, the same way carvings on stone are worn down by water.” -- Amy Tan

What have you washed away today? What have I washed away today? Only parts of me...ever so slowly. And to not rub away the pain means to deal with it--scary parts and all. And if I only deal with the scary parts one washing at a time then the scary parts don't appear to be so gigantic. So for today, I'll wash one scary part away to reveal the true, beautiful me.
