My pets my children my sister. My sister and I call each other “dearheart” and this feels like it changes the timbre of our conversations. Self-kindess as a form of love has transformed how I can be with myself when I am struggling. When I have less lows, when I am less hurting and insulted, believe me, those around me have greater ease :))) Thank you for all the answers I have read today. They are beautiful

Can I just send a heart to every reply? Thank you everyone for sharing. I am new here. How can I honour tenderness within me? Through physical touch, a soft lens, a kind question, an act of compassion to someone or something which is hurting.
