Many of the topics I've written about I've already explored, I've meditated, journaled, prayed, and found my way through. This topic though, it's still raw to me.
I've started to see a pattern that I wait for approval and validation before moving forward with any of my thoughts or needs. That someone rejecting, ignoring, or even showing a less than enthusiastic response to my plans or ideas can shut me down emotionally. I'm no longer comfortable with that.
So I plan to sit down with myself and have some conversations. I'll share my findings as I go.
If others are feeling this way, I don't have advice but I do have words of kindness from being in the murk with you. You are not alone.
