If internal validation non-existant, difficult road ahead so all for internalization of imperfection (:

I guess there’s never a right time, even though we sometimes feel more “ready”. Reading your piece reminded me how vulnerable we are when we decide to listen to the quiet voices within and not the loud ones. Our brain is wired for safety. It feels like getting naked, every time.

A favorite poem:

Enough

Enough. These few words are enough.

If not these words, this breath.

If not this breath, this sitting here.

This opening to the life

we have refused

again and again

Until now.

Enough

Enough. These few words are enough.

If not these words, this breath.

If not this breath, this sitting here.

This opening to the life

we have refused

again and again

Until now.
