#addictive behaviour

Instead I think I’ll call it , 'reclaiming your soul’. Not recovering something lost more so accepting what is.

To accept yourself fully you have to integrate the shadow self with the successful self. The ability to be at either end of the spectrum and still take accountability for who you are and what choices you make. It’s a journey that no one can take for you or even with you really. It’s self discovery, self observation. Learning your triggers, your patterns, cycles and attachment styles.

It’s sad how many of us fear being unloved, being left behind and being seen. It’s like we want to stay small until we are loved the right way. Unable to see the resilience and beauty of our power and capabilities. Our courage to create our realities even through obstacle courses, roadblocks and dead ends. Our existence is the embodiment of hope.

We tell ourselves a story of how and why we’re not enough and become disempowered by everything we try to hide behind. Telling ourselves we’re invisible all while our shadow peeks out for the world to see. We all have shadows , cast by light. Even the earth teeters between day and night. Shining and lurking. Mysterious and bright.

We are always both we just tell ourselves we’re not.

We are comfortable with the lights on low. It makes sense that when we don’t accept and love ourselves or understand ourselves or our behaviour then of course we’re uncomfortable being seen. When we don’t like ourselves we seek external validation. We live for that moment when someone gives us permission to be us and we hang back.. we deny ourselves of the reality that sits in our heart space because to get there would mean stepping out fully into the spotlight, centre stage. Such a terrifying thought until being certain of who you are simply by accepting who you are, why you are , and who you wanna be. When you do it’s not all that scary.

If I live in authenticity I don’t need the reassurance of your opinion. I don’t need to play the role of addict because I’m afraid I won’t be accepted for instead being a writer, a poet, a dreamer, a painter, a tarot card reader, a Philosophical procrastinator, photographer or of course someone who’s faced great unfortunate circumstances which at times were difficult to overcome. Times less graceful. If I don’t live for you and instead choose to live for me I don’t have to live up to your expectations. The only competition I have is my drive to be the most complete version of me possible… Which I accept is a moving target

You don’t need to recover from mistakes you need to discover what makes you happy and do it for you in consideration of others but not affluenced by if that makes sense. We think by digging into who we really are that it will destroy us and the image we uphold when in reality it sets us free. No one wants to escape freedom , you cannot judge and call it acceptance.

To heal is not one’s ability to overcome dependency so much as it’s permission to love who you are as if you were both the parent and the child and to fall in love with who you’re becoming as you work with who you’ve been. Ever learning the ins and outs of you.

You perfectly imperfect beautiful soul. A soul is said to live on even after the body shuts down. Why tell the story of how you’re broken when you hold something so powerful inside of you that it outlives lifetimes.

As you cozy up with who you are and hold yourself in compassion , overtime,

You stop leaning on the same vices because they just slow you down and it’s more thrilling to become alive and to feel it all

It’s less about what you stand to lose, or what you don’t have and more about sharing , learning, exploring and play.

All things which fire off the same

Dopamine receptors but feel more like open fields than invisible prisons . The more you that you become the less you need from

Others and the more you just appreciate all that is.

If your soul could have anything in this lifetime what self limitations keep

You from it

I am baked in the oven on 420 degrees but it’s medicinal and I talk too much 😎
