On notice: my inner monologue
I've been realizing how many times a day I say things to myself like "you're a horrible person." That's no good. So now when the little voice in my head (the kind everyone has, not the special kind) says things like that I'll tell it to be quiet. I should treat myself with the same respect I try to show other people.

You have to read Ann Lamott--she calls that KFUK radio! You are right-- at least most of us have that stupid little voice. But then I wonder if really horrible people have it? I think not. Perhaps that's the main difference between good people and evil ones.
I do know that you did not learn it as a small child. You were only told how smart, cute and special you were/are. When did it work its way into your mind? Fifth grade? Junior High? I'm sorry, but glad that you are working to silence it now!
