What if instead of looking at that as a problem, we acknowledge the communication our bodies send us and respect those boundaries the way we would with someone we cared deeply for…what if we could give that grace and compassion with ourselves? Who is more deserving of such care?

You know, I kinda like to think about it like this…
Setting boundaries with others is important and healthy…maybe our bodies (physical and emotional) are trying to establish boundaries with us and communicate those boundaries with symptoms such as crashing out.

Well not quite all steel. It’s got a rubber handle which still seems ok

I’m back in the “world” now. Words cannot express the depth of this kind of experience…next year I will be questing myself with the love and support of my community. Preparation begins now. Aho Mitakuye Oasin! Hoka hey!

Yes, we take on our parents negative traits. We are also called to overcome them, to break the cycle…and in so doing, we break free from our own prison and discover our true nature.
Well, that’s the goal anyway 😅

If you settle, one day you will see that right person but be unable to pursue them because you are trapped in a toxic situation

It is imperative not to succumb to less than you truly desire from a relationship. You can’t change people. Natural harmony is what you should be looking for

Sounds like maybe he has an avoidant attachment style. I’m here to tell you that there are definitely plenty of men out there that do indeed just want to love and be loved, no games and no manipulation. Trust me, it’s a struggle on this end too.

What’s crazy is that it’s something so intangible as the collective mindset that prevents that from happening. There is nothing that can be physically altered or presented to flip that switch. The human ego hellbent on self preservation is its own undoing.

Not alone conceptually, but in reality, yes, still very much alone. The cognitive dissonance of these concepts is quite a hurdle. It is still very much an isolated societal structure we live in. The 100th monkey has yet to awaken to the benefits of an interdependent society…

Yeah, that is also something that I notice profoundly

Here’s a documentary on light that I have really enjoyed.

Finding people in this world to approach any semblance of depth with is enormously difficult

Who the fuck is prepared for all that?…and that doesn’t even begin to get past the surface level for me.

…but also like…existential dread of our authoritarian government and the rise of overt racist hatred…and the sublime nature of misty mountains and lush greenery…and what the fuck the manipulative monetary system of oppression and power…and what if we all had communities of mutual support and harmony

Like, I saw a big old fat bumblebee today and I wanted to give it a big squishy hug and the fact that I couldn’t made me sad, but it was so cute that it made me happy.

…even when I feel good, what I feel good about is often something that most people either find odd or completely take for granted

It can be pleasant at times, and I know that people generally mean well…I just don’t think very many people are actually prepared for a response that is less than pleasant or challenges the status quo mindset of normality. I’m just not normal and I really struggle with that

Light is such a weird and fascinating thing. I think it gets overlooked by a lot of people but I would totally geek out on something like that

Not gonna lie, I’ve always felt a little befuddled about how to respond to that question…and that’s what pretty much everyone leads with. I’m just like, here we go, play the record, track 3. Fuck me.

…but I totally understand your sentiment. It can be quite unsettling to share so much of yourself with someone thinking you got the real deal, only to find out how weak and shallow someone truly is

If nothing else, they reveal the true character of a man. A good man values maintaining integrity within a relationship and would not sacrifice a deep and meaningful relationship for a shallow fling 🤷🏻

I would imagine so…I’m not exactly the biggest social networker or extrovert, but I know a few who are.

If I gotta be the one to start one, hopefully I can find a therapist to lead it

Oddly enough, I have been thinking about that very thing. I’m not currently aware of anything like that in this area, but I’m going to try to find something like that tomorrow. If I can’t find anything, I’m almost tempted to start one.

I’m glad you did. I didn’t take it condescendingly at all. To me, it was very genuine and caring. Thank you

That being said, I do appreciate your response. I feel a little less like I’m just speaking into the void

I’ve been going to therapy off and on since I was a teenager. Started going again after the hurricane but it’s been hard to afford to go consistently. It’s been hard for me to talk to friends about it. It’s that fucking male conditioning about not wanting to be a burden to anyone.
