Cheryyblossom,

I can understand the disappointment in not being celebrated by our loved ones. That your loved ones appear to be conniving instead, ouch! Consider that the act of conniving is painful for the heart, and produces many clouds. Like, they get wrapped up in money, forget what is important, miss out on the joy. Too busy fighting over their inherited stuff to be present. That they don’t have the space or warmth to give you a good hug and share love isn’t surprising, and has nothing to do with your lovablilty, your accomplishments, or you. Just them and their rainclouds.

Instead of looking to them for that sense of celebration, consider celebrating your own growth. Do you keep a gratitude journal? A cherryyblossom in the spring is one of the most beautiful, make sure she knows it!

With warmth,
Matt
