to try to come perfect.
everything starts to back up.
i can't write to myself anymore and leave it in a closet.
it's coming out...
see, here’s the thing
i have so many thoughts and ideas and creations that i would like to share
none of them are good enough
or will blow you away
but they are mine
and they’ve been wanting to come out for some time
so i’m going to let them
and i’ve made a place where they can
and this is it for now,
if you feel like taking a look
that is cool.
i would love to hear if you have a reaction to anything or if it evokes something in you.
it will be a mishmash for a while because the process f trying to decided what is
good enough
high vibe enough
true enough
to go out
is excruciating
all of it will go out
all of me.
i’m drawing no divisions
between my complaining and my reverie
my worth and my degradation
my lightness of being
and my dark nights
whatever
welcome to being human
even if you think some of it is unworthy
or who would care
i don’t blame you
i’m doing this for me.
to stay alive
i care because the inner me cares
so here it is,
all of me
here
i have a driving desire to share myself in the world and for whatever reason this keyboard and screen are the conduit at this time.
so i’m going with it
i will have my conversations with you here.
whatever
guess it’s a start.

yes, trying to be perfect, no matter what at, means that we are picking up the measuring stick of our world, and bowing to it. It stops us from measuring in our own ways, from creating in our own ways.
The world needs your voice, Betsy. I, for one, have missed it. Sending love and hugs to all of my peeps.
