All For Me

It never fails, this notification always frightens me.

I don't know what I want this blog entry to be about.


I'm currently listening to jazz music. Acid reflux is in full bloom. Bloated and bleeding. (Love me). Lots on my mind. I want to believe that whatever I have to say, is worthy of being heard (in whatever form it comes). I write music to release the passionate, expressive beast I have within me. Writing has been the only way I can get across exactly how I feel...though, it's not something I've ever loved doing. It's too revealing. That scares me. Alas, I do it anyway. Isn't that how the saying goes? "Feel the fear and do it anyway" ? I fear writing, embarrassment and rejection. I'm not sure anyone loves embarrassment, nor rejection - but I especially, don't like to make a fool of myself. I should elaborate.


Telling someone how I feel about them, how much I care...attempting to show them, only to be rejected - is embarrassing. That's the only situation, in where I'm truly not fond of rejection/embarrassment. Opening up is not something I do often, though, I am a very transparent person. Privacy and transparency don't have to be mutually exclusive. Being both is acceptable - even if it wasn't, it's my world.


Therapy has taught me, basically, I am not who I thought I was. Well, not all of who I was. This has been both, a very surprising and liberating experience (I'm still experiencing it). I spend my time, now, listening to myself. Once I've heard and understood - I act. It really is the only way to heal and love yourself, efficiently. In doing so, I've completely resurrected my truest self, and am currently on a path to trusting, and believing in her process, completely. It's the least I could do, for ignoring her, since the beginning of time. She's got my undivided attention. Living for her, from now on. Upward and onward.

    1. Hey lov🤗

      You WILL make it out. I know you will. My therapist was suggested to me, by a friend. At first, I was uncomfortable with it being a white woman...because I wasn’t sure if she’d be able to understand (and also guide me through) any mental anguish, regarding my race. I was dead wrong. In the 2 years I’ve been seeing her, she’s helped me become the most confident in being exactly who I need to be, for myself. So, I’ll say, when choosing your therapist, keep an open mind 😘

In this very moment, I am not feeling great. I never regret anything, so, I might as well blog while I'm in this state of mind. I'm ...
