Damn, you really live like this?

Sitting in your silly little chair, with your silly little thoughts.

Sitting in your silly little chair, with your silly little thoughts. 〰️

Learning to love yourself is a fearless act. Getting past the belly ache that’s brought on by your own embarrassing human need to sit with your emotions- that’s brave. “Damn, you really live like this?” is what I told myself before I started therapy. Then I understood: I’d been simmering in the pressure cooker of life. Letting off that steam and cracking open that lid actually revealed a version of myself that I liked. One that said “I’m sorry” and not “I’m sorry but”. Turns out this whole time I thought the pressure was the reward, and forgot about how exquisite beans are when they’ve been simmering for a while.
