Just like some people accept Jesus Christ into their hearts, many of us accept the dominant culture into our hearts. What that means is that we walk this life distrusting everyone. We walk in fear thinking people are out to get us. We also go about our day not expressing how we feel and being compulsively dishonest, communicating things we don't really mean (like saying "sorry" constantly) and demanding the same from others. I say "how are you?" but I don't really want to know how you feel so please don't share your shit. I say "fine, thank you" but I am dying inside so understand my passive-aggressive tone and piss off or I'll verbally murder your guts for no reason. We are walking on eggshells whilst simultaneously shaming people if they chose not to enter this violent and punitive dynamic. Afraid. Anxious. Tired. Defensive. Detached. Isolated. Unseen. But with a brimming smile on our profile picture. The more we remove our deeper self from our faces, our actions and our expressions, the more we mutilate our heart and close it to the love that is available and the more we invest ourselves in a cycle of fear and disconnection. However, we call this kind of behaviour "being well-adapted". I am calling out that bullshit. There is nothing normal or beneficial about hiding and being ridden with fears. I want this world to be experienced as a brave space where I can be me, either silent in one corner witnessing or being loud and dancing, expressing all the joy that my child's heart has to share or all the rage and sadness when I am down and all the bliss when I am in the zone. I want to be heard, seen and received. I want to witness others and receive them in my heart. I want what I know is possible. I want spaces where I can disrupt and break my abidance to the dominant culture. And I want you to have it too. Join the brave space.
