RE: Sharing Our Pain // It's Good To Be Back!
Realness is rare because it requires vulnerability, trust, and an absolute fuck-ton of courage.
And since it is often devoid of an agenda and not often supported by the masses, a compassionate "fuck off" to the status quo and social norms is often a necessity as well - hence the hefty dose of courage.
Such true words. The fact of realness being "devoid of an agenda" seems to be the most triggering. Have you ever experienced that "what are you up to...?" look when you're simply sharing your heart? I've often experienced just making a statement out of love and being met with that pausing glare, as if they are trying to read between the lines for the agenda underneath. Often this is followed by them quickly changing the topic to something more "exciting." I'm left feeling somewhat of a void in that moment.
I feel you there @digitalfae! That is the worst. I used to have a few friends who would look for the agenda as well, oftentimes it was because they were holding an agenda lol.
One thing I've also discovered for myself is that sometimes when I am shining my brightest and coming from the deepest depths, I am also quite misunderstood (as I was saying earlier). But that quickly shifts whenever I notice that these "misunderstandings" may also be things that I don't understand about myself... and once I clear that energy up, then those sort of contradictions to truth and love happen less, and I'm more often met with compassion and all those good yummy things that life has to offer.
