The walls that imprison you

Break down the walls. The codependency, the people pleasing, they're all walls, fortresses we built as a child to protect ourselves. And now they have become the walls that stop us from exploring, connecting, and moving outside of ourselves. The thing that used to protect us now imprisons us, now keeps us lonely, scared, and isolated.

Break down the walls. See that you are not your five-year-old self. See that you are robust and strong and enduring and can handle the heartbreak and the disappointment and the failures and the abandonment that you couldn't when you were five. Right?

Reach past the borders of your consciousness, your awareness, your field of safety. Move into the unknown, the uncertain darkness. Breathe with it. Feel the uncomfortability.

Feel the tension. Say yes to it. Open your heart and soul to it and charge through. Only by growing bigger, only by fully being yourself, taking up space, living your own heart's longing, can all of us connect, heal, and transform this broken world.
