A Quick COVID-19 Note
Just because I’m not posting much about COVID-19, doesn’t mean that I’m not holding those who have suffered & died in my heart.
Life Goals
All I really want in life is to become a genuinely good, nice, kind, caring, productive person.
Slow On The Uptake
We’re all living beings trying to figure out how to live better, but we’re not all capable of the same things or moving at the same pace and we never, EVER will be, so we have to let that dream die already.

What makes you feel vulnerable? What triggers feelings of shame for you?
The harder it is to open ourselves to the possibility of being vulnerable, the more likely we have experienced some form of trauma in our lives. The earlier on in our lives that we were exposed to something traumatic, the more ingrained those neural pathways are, meaning the more likely the roads that leads to us experiencing feelings like shame are well travelled.
