I will always find it inexplicable that we rarely give ourselves the kindness, time, attention, forgiveness, and grace that we give to the other people (and many of us, to animals) we love or have friendships with.
Completely unrelated: You occasionally bring up Natasha and her dolls from Someone Like You because of my abundance of dolls. Yesterday, Tim texted me a photo (of a doll) from a store and said, “She’s pretty cool.” And after some back and forth, I asked him to go ahead and grab her for me. (Maybe I’ll use her for my Tiny Tuesday post later.)
Keep in mind I’ve only recently reread the TJB books; Tim and Jim both think they’ve forgotten as much or more than I had. When I went to Tim’s place later, and he handed me the box, I thought of you and said, “Well, if I were Natasha, right now I’d look at her and say, ‘You’re beeeauutiful.'” And Tim lit up and said, “I get that!” Everything about it was delightful to me, and you were a part of that.
I think also most people have difficulty with that first one. I get a mixed bag of looks and reactions in this desert whenever I wear my rainbow color font “Treat everybody with kindness” T-Shirt. One person at Home Depot told me directly that is where we all went wrong. Others really scoffed and did the stare down a hallway. I would normally get complements when I wear a rainbow tie dye printed T-Shirt, and given the bandwagon on base with red T-Shirts on working Fridays, I have frequently but silently threatened wearing those shirts to work (because they have red but all the other colors as well) or better still a gay days in Disneyland red. Instead, I like wearing Office Space Hawaiian prints. Our work says everything on that remember every deployed bandwagon anyway, even though I know of a good number of guys who were. I find the Hawiian prints more soothing.
Nope! Disclaimer: The celebrity lodged in my imagination since I was a teenager is deceased, not a secret, and I don’t dress as him or surreptitiously meet with an unkempt biker who reproduces his clothes at 1:6 scale for me. 🤣
The first one is the only one I experience any difficulty with

One person at Home Depot wasn’t hugged enough as a child.
Do you dress up as Dolly and lock yourself in your doll room..?
