I was talking with a friend a few weeks ago who told me sometimes, when I do the work of looking within, so that I can grow, I feel like I find so many effed up things inside of me that I get overwhelmed over how much there is to fix... and then I feel hopeless because I know theres no way I will ever untangle all of this. Its too massive. And then I dont want to do anything because Im so discouraged. I so identified with her because I have felt that way too at different times in my life, especially during times of deepening or great change. One thing comes, up and then along with exploring that, two more things to fix come up, and so forth. So, I offered her this in return, which I now offer to you: What if youre not supposed to untangle anything? What if the tangles are what makes you YOU? What if you could learn to love and accept the tangles until you dont see them as tangles that need to be untangled anymore? What if you believed that you could be lovable in all of your tangled glory? What if loving yourself and owning who you are, tangles and all, is all you need to do? I do think the inner journey is life long work. Every time I move past one layer, I find another one, deeper, needing more attention and love. So what? Youre not supposed to be perfect. No one is. (no matter how much their Instagram/FB account or blog shows it). What if the only work you had to do for the rest of your life was to love and accept yourself more and more each day?
