Oh muffled.
It must be so painful to feel that way. Tainted is such a painful painful word to describe yourself.I know this probably won't help, because when something is inside, the healing has to come from inside, too. But you're not tainted. You're beautiful, just as you are. None of us are pure, untouched by pain or perfectly good. We all have our "shadow" side, as Jung would put it. We all have urges, fantasies, thoughts, and feelings that could be considered "bad". And that's okay.
I know that's hard to feel, and lord knows I struggle with it, too. But each of us is unique, and our "scars", both metaphorical and physical, are part of us. They represent experiences that are uniquely ours. There's beauty in that. It's hard to see through the pain. But there is beauty in being just as you are.
Safe hugs and peace to you tonight.
