I like to try to put a positive twist to things that come up in my life - like things that make me question why I try... This perspective flip is not so much of a “fail safe and always working to be bright and positive” but instead another way of looking at something... another perspective.. and then another and another until something brings me some peace or life moves on and that in and of itself is sometimes enough.
It is important to me to be informed and able to see multiple angles of a perspective. I also can’t always get there and that’s okay too. Sometimes the ID is just unclear enough that I have to leave it where it is until I do feel confident that I can settle into a resolution that makes sense to me. Or I know from experience what it is.
It’s messy. Fear is there. This time rejection that is only kind of rejection. But curiosity stays alive. The old gets tough and itchy. My skin sheds.
I learn.
Know your snakes.
Understand your fears.
Only hold them when you have to.
