I know this will sound woo-woo, hippy, cheesy or flat out untrue to some people - and for you who feel this way, hear me out even more deeply.
This deep awareness arose during my morning non-linear movement practice today… which I ugly cried through the entire hour.
(Contrary to what some believe, crying is often a fantastic sign that a breakthrough is happening! It is deep strength and truth pushing through the bullsh*t we’ve been wearing like a snake shedding its old, decaying skin.)
Your sadness? It exists because you care.
Your anger? It exists because you give a damn.
Your longing? It exists because you want better/more/deeper living.
Your frustration? Because you keep trying to do better, even if you’re hitting brick wall after brick wall.
Your numbness? It is so because you’re tired, need rest and because you give a f*ck.
Your regret? Because you wished you had known better when you simply didn’t.

We do not feel angry because we lack love. We do not feel hatred because we don’t care. We do not feel despair, hopelessness, overwhelm, bitterness because we are broken.
We feel ALL feelings because we LOVE.
We cry because we grieve for a lost love.
We hate and rage because we are sick and tired of not being respected or our existence even acknowledged.
We have deep longing and desires because we can envision and feel into a better life for ourselves, our families, for humanity.
We are frustrated because we’re impatient in learning how to navigate from a less pure love to a more pure love.
We’re numb when we’ve overextended ourselves or been hurt repeatedly that we need a break from caring so deeply.
We regret when we have insight and understanding now, that would’ve saved our younger selves the suffering they went through.
