"You can choose courage or you can choose comfort. You cannot have both" - Brene Brown

I've always struggled to write for myself. I've never been brave enough to face the reality of what my stream of consciousness may reveal to me. Writing for an audience means there must be purpose in my writing, even if no one reads it or only one person reads it. But one cannot have courage and comfort simultaneously.

I have never known anything to grow because they are permanently in a place of comfort - seeds to plants, juveniles to adults, a sentence to a book, a painting to a collection. I talk as both a scientist and an artist in that respect. It takes courage to adapt to new circumstances. It takes courage to take up more space. It takes courage to put the brush to canvas. Creation requires far more courage than destruction. I choose courage.

I'm trying to write more in the first person, more as myself than to myself. I struggle with dissociation. I've realized that I've had a tendency to write to others or to write to myself as a way to separate myself from my experiences - primarily to separate myself from the trauma, but it has also taken away my experiences of joy.

Creating myself has been the most challenging endeavor I've set out to see through to the end. It was easy to destroy myself, it was easy to let the rage take over, let the despair drown me, never having to take accountability or responsibility for my words or actions because I was just too miserable to care (for myself or anyone else).

The tides have shifted, the moon's pull has grown stronger and here I am, creating. I have created a life filled with joy - I have createdy being as whole and integrated. I have two amazing cats. I live in a beautiful house with the most wonderful man. We are home. I am not just a drop of water, I am not just that horrible wave or that silent sea.

No.

I am the whole goddamn ocean.

Material Goods.

Material goods Were good To feed the ego

Working on the self To face what I've been running from It feels good to feed the soul

Actually, we have no problems - we have opportunities for which we should give thanks… An error we refuse to correct has many lives. It takes courage to face one's own shortcomings and wisdom to do something about them. ~Edgar Cayce~

It's important to give yourself grace and compassion when you experience emotions. You are allowed to be happy one day and sad the next. We experience triggers, pain, and trauma throughout our lives and know that accepting your emotions and giving yourself time to process them is a part of the healing journey ❤️ forever love yourself #fly-care

♫ Face Yourself - Death Reflections ♫

[gabthegoodwitch]

What we put in our bodies should never be decided based on what everyone else is putting into their bodies. That shouldn't even be a metric by which we judge what is good for us. At the end of our life, it's just us with ourselves, and our own choices that led us there. If everyone else is eating processed chemicals, and you decide to eat processed chemicals, you have only your future self to answer to for that. No one else will be there. We have to stop seeking validation from others for the poor lifestyle choices we make for ourselves, because at the end of the day, no one else is responsible for the choices we make in our lives. No one else has to answer to them.
