“I’m a good person…I’m a bad person.”
It’s things I hear people label themselves in times of defensiveness or reasoning. Finding ways to validate the actions they’ve taken. Justification. Inherent traits they hold on to as badges to explain behaviour.
But maybe, we can drop the labels. Maybe it’s neither being good nor being bad.
Maybe it’s just a process from hurt to healing, and the actions we take as we journey between those places.
