Love is being vulnerable.
If you want to receive, give.
If you want to open someone up, open yourself up.
An honest truth is an understood truth.
Let me open myself up and give you an honest truth:
I know that everyone has weak spots, vulnerabilities. We cover them, hide them, mask them. We hide behind fasts and indulgences. We hide behind ideas of sinner and saint. We hide behind notions of success and failure. Some of us even play games and experiment to test the lucrativeness of these boundary lines.
We raise and lower our standards, because we can't meet or rise above the standard of who we think we ought to be.
Don't get me wrong - Is it great to strive for continual improvement? Of course.
But if you constantly live in the struggle of being, you're missing out on life, on love.
In Freedom, you've already arrived. You recognize that where you are is exactly where you're supposed to be, and it is also going to change.
Freedom is to just Be.
As you are - in your current, beautiful self.
My Light...
I've struggled with ideas of perfection... in body, in behavior, in competence
I've struggled with fear of rejection and of neglect
What are my masks?
Food. Alcohol. Indifference. Negligence. Criticisms.
As surely as the world turns, I'm constantly learning...
But still, I run for freedom...
In Love,
Christine
