I believe that we don’t walk through life on our own. I talk to the inner me throughout the day. Don’t you?
That’s right. My outer me, the me that everyone sees, looks after me, my real me, my other me. Cares for me. Can care for others too. But me, the real me can hide from everything and everyone. I hide inside the outer me. More than anyone... I really should try and care more for ME! Twice the work!
I stand by you annnewton1 and by me. I totally understand where you’re coming from. Excellent post. Xxxx
Thank you.
Hi annnewton1,
I can very much identify with what you feel. Sometimes the inner me is the puppet master of the outer me, manipulating the strings to get me through what needs to be done.
You’re absolutely right. We do need to acknowledge our inner self is there, and to nurture it constantly. We really need to do it not only through discussion between our inner and outer selves, but by sometimes letting the world peek in to see how we are really feeling. That can be so hard to do for many of of us but it’s well worth doing. And in fact you’ve started the ball rolling here by even acknowledging this ‘other being’ we have within.
Do you know that old saying that ‘a trouble shared is a trouble halved’? I think that holds true a lot of the time, and once in a while we can look after the ‘inner me’ by revealing that we’re struggling a bit.
Bless you for this thought provoking post, and yes! Let’s all admit that the inner us needs some tender loving care too.
Very best wishes to you.
Thank you. I receive my personal inner me care from my spiritual life with God, His mother and my Guardian Angel. We have a great friendship and they are ‘there’ all the time and I often invite ‘them in’.
I have a wonderful time with my guardian angel ( she has a name but not for the public domain). What a laugh we have on a daily basis. She sees all my triumphs and all my mishaps. I can’t hude a thing. She has a fabulous personality. If I lose something... she leads me to it. If unsure, she helps me decide. She is my conscience and often makes me realise I’ve just said the wrong thing or done the wrong thing!! She makes it easy for me to say, “sorry.” We pray together and stay together and go to church together and receive the sacraments together. We care for others together. Im so grateful that I’m not alone, that I’ll always have my friend.
I don't think I have an inner me. I'm just on autopilot most of the time.
Look what do you see an old woman sometimes struggling to breathe, shakes and cannot always speak but croaks. Looking after her disabled hubby as best she can. Wondering is she will be able to manage. But inside there is that young carefree woman pushing her beloved babies in their pram , and she gives so much strength to the old bid. So yes there is an inner and outer me.
