Okay so with this post, there’s a lot going on that I’d like to get into. Firstly, the story I really need to tell is that there is a part of me that might seem strong and passionate and capable of doing things on my own, and to a certain extent, this might be true. However, the problem with this is that it might cause me to feel some challenges in reaching out to ask for help when it is needed and perhaps this fact should be more important to me than it is. What will help me internalize this issue so I can safely address it is knowing that everyone juggles and tries to balance something. I have been doing a lot of work to do this task and have made progress enough that I have earned the right to stand where I am. However. I may have to defend the right to have done this work, especially because there were people in my past, and likely will be people in my future who don’t understand or want me to make progress. The thing is, these people don’t matter because they’re the ones minding my business. I need to know that the thing my heart needs to do to heal is to tap into the emotions I’m feeling and work to understand them so I’m not overwhelmed with them anymore. I also need to acknowledge the creative energy in my body and use it to transmute the pain and hurt I’m feeling so I can celebrate the triumphs in my space. So what are those? I see that there may be things I need to decide and choices I need to make to move forward. The information I’m missing is going to come in fast, and the good part about this is that I will be able to process things in a safe and open manner.
