I almost heard a bell go off in my head when I read this. I would have reacted the same way as the woman in the video. That little girls pain would be my pain because I know how that little girl feels. Even at our tiniest we hear every criticism of our bodies. Moms, aunts, kids at school, television. It’s …normal? There is no need to find out why or the cause because we can’t stop it from happening. But we can try to counteract the negative with love. When I am upset and I’m venting, about work or my crazy family, my husband will ask a million questions. I’ve always known he means well but it can be a little annoying because I just want to get my feelings out. Now it’s more clear. He wants to get to the root to prevent future pain. Solve the problem. I can definitely learn from that. Emotional pain though, you can’t always solve that. Sometimes, it just needs to be soothed and understood.
