To be in a relationship where I feel intensely, without losing myself. Somewhere I can feel comfortable being my whole self — all the shameful parts of me and all. Somewhere I don’t have to hide parts of myself. Somewhere I can be free.
To become a medium for emotions but never be controlled by them. A person who feels and releases emotions in the same breath, who does not wait years and years to dig up old feelings out of their grave, who obliterates the emotional baggage that was handed down to them from their mothers and the mothers before them. To become free from the shackles of guilt, shame, and pain that has my name engraved on it, and to release ourselves from the cycle of trauma.
To be a person that does not break people down into small bite-size pieces. A person who allows others to come as their whole selves without feeling fear or shame because I no longer have those same fears, shame, or judgements within myself.
To live among children and their energy, teenagers and their sudden breaks from social norms, young adults and their focus/drive, aging adults with their slow but steady changes, and elders who are able to embrace more than I can ever hold. To not lose sight of where I am in it all, that I am living but a single moment in the expansive timeline of human life.
