taking notes on my new #daringgreatly audiobook gifted to me by @done_did_it_gilbert Fuck. This shit is about to get real and messy and dig up more shit that I don’t like to acknowledge exists... just the emotional decluttering I need after 5 days of nothing nothing but sappy ass feelings and listening and resonance at @gestaltcleveland Culture of Radical Engagement + Conflict Workshops. . . It’s been so so difficult to not focus on the fear and the part of me that wants to slither back into my shell once shit hits the fan and I do something that makes my imperfection “exposed.” . . Even my adviser read a poem to me. That’s how negative and cloudy my heart and mind have been. Felt like she said a prayer. (See Snowdrops by Louise Gluck) . . #poetry #poems My favorite lines are “I did not expect to survive, I did not expect to waken again[...]afraid, yes, but AMONG you AGAIN / crying YES risk joy/ in the raw wind of the new world. “ . . (Capitalization added for emphasis because I’m finally reading this poem the way it was meant to be spoken... now re-read it aloud) . . . #gestalttherapy #brenebrown #lsw #counseling #feelingsandshit #notebooknotes #journing #audible #bookish #softandbrave #vulnerability
