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.

Hi Mishal..thanks so much for having me I'm thrilled about this blog..your strength, knowledge, and transparency gives me hope that I will make it out...how did you find a good therapist?
ReplyDeleteHey lov🤗
DeleteYou 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 😘
