Yes. I loved this: "The hardest part isn’t upholding the illusion but knowing when it is no longer in service to you"...and when you get to the point where you start to fool yourself.
That’s such a fraught position to be in - knowing you’re the source of your own discomfort. But it’s soooo essential, that’s the only ground where real change comes from 😫we humans love a game of denial.
I introspect about how I conceal myself all the time. What don’t I want to show or share? What to I want to make more appealing? Why do I care? If anyone publishes my journals after I die I will haunt them.
I’ve been told to watch Adolescence too. I just added it to my watch list.
I’ve been on the side of telling a lie long enough to believe it. The metamorphosis of the illusion is dangerous when it’s progressed to that point. Honesty and authenticity has served me well. No need to remember or uphold. I can live.
wrote your ass off in this, per usual. Also - thank you for the plug 🫶🏾🖤
thanks! I loved, Glory. I felt like I was right there with you.

I love the concept of: no one can use what we accept about ourselves against us. Acceptance really is the only way to have peace in this realm.
I couldn’t agree more.
Adolescence was good. Many people became
Upset about the reality of it. As in medical dramas I have been thinking I should get into ‘The Resident’ on Netflix.
I can’t wait to get into it! Anything that stirs strong emotion and so much encouragement to view must present a serious perspective!
