Terrible Interpreters

#33

Friend,

“Children are great observers and terrible interpreters.” Jason Wilson

I’ve been thinking about this quote and you a lot recently. I can’t help but believe that this is true.

• Why did you think that it (the divorce, the abuse, the failure) was your fault?

• Why do you still hear the laughter of other kids and think that everyone is still laughing at you?

• Why do you carry around this burden of a false belief that you’ve carried for decades?

You have been carrying around the weight of self-blame, simply because your seven-year-old self misinterpreted a major life event.

What if you could lose that weight? What if you could re-interpret that “it”? What if you were free?

As your friend, few things would make me happier.

Love,

Aaron
