Identity Reckoning: loving being average & admitting it's okay to not be okay

PART 4:

Higher Perspective Series.

The truth was when I got really real with what I needed — what I wanted and what I needed were two separate things. And if I can equate that to my egoic self — my shiny exterior of how I want to be perceived  — "kept saying, “You're fine, move forward, keep going.”

And that version of me is so good at pretending like everything is okay and that I have it altogther until I really don't.

And going back in time to June of 2023, I crumbled.

summer 2023: just arrived back in my hometown in the midst of a reckoning. Survival mode DOES NOT look good on me

Things that nursed me back to life and brought so much joy: country air, grass, Bill Murray (the cat), time with my family, and gentle hugs from Mother Earth (sunsets were creme de la creme)

ALAS, one more note — a note of how to work with the partnership of MOODS.

See you tomorrow for Part 5: Suffering Begone (listening beyond your wounded self)

Ciao for now,
