I've felt like everything in my life has been limited to the inner restrictions that have either consciously or subconsciously been placed upon me by either myself or other people and content I've consumed So in short, I think it's so important to let the right voices in your life, which is why I'm excited to dive into this community

I journaled on the questions provided. The emotion I might have been avoiding is vulnerability. I was regularly shamed as undefendedness was being demanded of me. It is really the shaming that triggers fear. To be so open and then the knife twisted in... I am guarded as to what I say and to whom. I it is a way that I have learned to take care of myself. Where do I abandon myself? I am still breaking myself of rescuing. That behavior will slip out sometimes. I try to catch it before it comes out. Suffering still gets to me. I am working on "enjoying their pain," that is knowing an opportunity for growth is occurring and don't interrupt it. How can I show up more as the real me? I live alone. I work alone (gardening). I do not interact with but a few people in each day, except at our Center on Sunday's. Most of these interactions are not very intimate. I think Sunday mornings at our Center has the better potential for emotional honesty. Where am I holding back my authentic self? Around people. I can check in with myself more often to track what is going on with me and see if expressing that would be useful in the interaction.

Let’s be honest, building something new can feel lonely. Your friends might not understand your goals. Your family might think you’re overreaching. Some days you even doubt yourself. That’s why communities matter. Being around people who are also trying, failing, learning, and growing changes everything. You’re not crazy for wanting more you're just ambitious
