Accepting your Shadow Self
I wrote this because of anxiety
I wrote this for myself after standing in the face of my anxiety. Anxiety is something I feel more shame about than anything. I have destroyed relationships and pushed people away because of it. I have torn myself apart. This is my dark spot. I can’t keep fighting it anymore, pretending that it doesn’t affect me or that I have it “managed” enough to be okay. It is a persistent visitor. Maybe it isn’t a visitor at all.
This isn’t about love and light its about fully feeling
I hope the following words can help you find the courage to be vulnerable and embark on a journey of self-acceptance. This isn’t about the bullshit of love and light. It’s about fully feeling and in fully feeling recognizing the mess and molded clay of us. You are enough because of and in spite of your dark spots. This is a homage to that and an offering to feel it.
Accepting the darkness
We all have dark spots. Shadows to our light. Shadows to the way we show up in the word. A coin flipped.
Wondering how I will wake up today?
Will I have the motivation or the courage?
Will I be able to touch the abundance that is this life, my breath in this body…
