Something’s not right

Re: A stranger to myself. I don't understand.

@JP81 I'm two hours behind in WA so it is close to midnight for some people. Yeah, I'm definitely in permanent time out mode. I need so much rest and relaxation. I'm truly doing it this time. 

 

About vulnerability. Hmmmm it's a difficult subject for me. I think there has to be safety in vulnerability. Especially for trauma survivors. It's instinctual and habitual to sniff out if it's safe to be vulnerable. 

 

I'm.reslly not sure, it's a big topic. Compassion towards yourself happens with time. It is hard in the beginning. Super hard. I guess I have sn inquisitive mind. A curious mind. I think that us good with some balance. I read an article recently about being curious again like a child is curious. I liked the article. It came from a really positive angle. There are some things in life I am definitely not curious about. 

 

I'm glad you feel safe here. I'm an extremely compassionate, generous, loving, kind and caring soul. I always have been. I'm changing a bit though. I need to give more if that to me. I've given so much to others and Ii have to try learn now to give it to me. Balance again. I simply can't save the world. 

 

Yes, it was very much a team effort. That us the way I see it. I do appreciate however that you took the time to write and tell me how you felt about our interaction. I did smile once thus evening and laughed about something. It's something.
