This is my secret place. To let my thoughts slip through my fingers as I type. Because they so often do not find their way through my lips.
vulnerability either kicks you in the *** or deeply rewards you. there’s no in between.

i’ve spent most of my life avoiding big feelings ducking from the intensity that so often leads to disappointment passion? look away. anger? let’s table it. grief? i’m fine. love? as long as it’s not deep. happiness? don’t get used to it. excitement? a waste of time. so when life threatens to jeopardize my built-in anesthesia, i don’t want to wake up.

i heard somewhere: when one door closes, a window opens. how strange, that it is a window which opens, and not another door. does the slammed door create such an intense pressure change that the window is forced open, and all of that same energy that left can come rushing back in? so really, it is not a new opportunity, but the same cycle? over and over and over again.
