I’m loving my curious and explorative side back into the Whole this season. In the times when my inner critic speaks a little louder, I often hear that I’m “behind” others in life and I tend to lose my sense of curiosity for who I am.
I am much more able to recognize and be at peace that I am forging my own path than I used to be.
I used to believe that I had to fit in with everyone else, but now as I embrace the essence of who I am I find that there is a deeper presence that I show up with on the daily.
Reading this right before bedtime was unwise. Let’s hope I’m tired enough to drift off anyway.
Also. Let’s eat so many tacos. And get sunburned. And make sand angels.
Well at least tacos then.

On a more somber note, what a piece, JJ. Somehow, cheering didn’t feel wrong by the time I got through it, even though I knew damn well how it started. Well wrought, sir.

Thank you for sharing that. What positive intention does your inner critic Part have when it shares that it feels you're behind others in life?

I can sense that through your writing, Cole. Beautiful.

Gonna need a video of the sand angels 😆
Done
Yes - all the tacos.
Thank you for reading and resonating, brother.
You've got some of the backstory on this one, so you know what it means to be able to write it.
At risk of sounding the triteness bell, this is what courage looks like.
It was courage. And thank God I didn't have to do it alone.
