No need to apologize
for falling down
when first leaning
to walk.
Falling down
is part of the process
of getting up
and growing.
No need to apologize
for falling down
in other ways
than walking.
Tripping up
over emotions
Is part of the process
of controlling them.
No need to apologize
for falling down
overwhelmed
and falling behind.
It is part of the process
of mental economics,
supply and demand
seeking equilibrium.
No need to apologize
for the process
of becoming
who you are.
No need to apologize
for where you are
in that process.
No need to apologize.
You’re good
to go,
as is.

"No need to apologize

If only society, or maybe I should say humanity here, as a whole could recognize that life is a process that involves many stages and growth, and that not everyone can or will be on exactly the same page they are, but still be willing to accept them for who they are and where they are... well then maybe humanity might grow some. We are stunted by our own intolerance and nonacceptance. I feel your heart on this one, Lori.

Michael,
I wrote this for my 22 year old daughter. She has had some struggles and is hard on herself.
She is getting better all the time as she focuses on her mental health issues. Just being mom and reaching out to let her know she is okay no matter the circumstances. ~L

"...mental economics..."

Brilliant! I love the whole thing. Acceptance of a person's stumbling through growth is rare. I read the comment that this was for your daughter. She's a very lucky daughter.
