I want to be with those who know secret things or else alone- Rilke Yup, that’s what’s up. I’m not interested in mundanity. I want to know what my/your passion is. I want to know what fuels your desire. What drives you to the greatest heights of existence. What do you yearn for? I realize that the more I embrace my authenticity the more the odds that I stand predominately alone, and yet I cannot even conceive of going back to conforming, to sucking down the blue pill. Something happens when you stand on the precipice staring death in the face. I rappelled into death’s cavern, but it didn’t want me. (shrugs) I’m okay with that, I get I’m ‘meant to be here’… but there were superfluous parts of me left in the abyss and I’ll never pick them up again. Shame, blame and conformity are gone. Such is the gifts of a stint in the abyss. I’m good with that. Grateful and oh so me, I am striving to be the brightest light I can be. To shine light for others, whilst they rummage in their own darkness. Yea, I can do that. So … do you know secret things (smiles), are you too on the s/hero’s journey? We rise together… this journey is not for the faint of heart. Just the fact that I/you/we choose to be in this road means we’re badass. #meanttobehere #andstillirise #phdbound #breakingchains #survivingmaria #artistsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #poetsofinstagram #renovatingmytemple #writeitdown #acim #ketogenicdiet #healthyisSEXY #psychstudent #bethechange #beingthechange #suicidesurvivor #ambassadorforatriskyouth #nomedsnoanxietynodepression #writingprompts #bleedonpaper #writerscommunity #writer #theroadlesstraveled #theroadlesstravelled #beingofservice #lighttheworld #light #lightthenight #sciaticadoesntstopme (at Fall River, Massachusetts)
