Feeling Different

I am just beginning to open up to all sorts of possibilities. I find myself thinking differently. When I find myself judging another I automatically pull back & ask myself how I am like that person. I see myself in them and I am pulled out of ego and forced into love. It just seems to be automatic these days! I also used to be very self conscious, but I have realized that in order to love others I really do have to accept myself and all my imperfections in order to love in others what I detest in myself. I am finally accepting myself as I am. Perfectly me, however imperfect I may be. It feels like breathing again after holding my breath forever.
