embarrassment has good bones

oaluz

When everything is embarrassing, that’s a sign that your passion is waking up, and it wants more. Your desire is a tender sprout that wants more water, more sunshine. It wants you to give up on SEEMING happy and in control and to start FEELING joy instead, even when it feels a little too big, even when it makes you cry, even when it forces you to question where you are and why.

Passion and desire and shame and sadness don’t signal that you have to change everything immediately, though. These are sensations that don’t require solutions. Your primary job, in the face of renewed lust for life, is to tolerate the shame of joy.

Because embarrassment is sometimes just a sign that you’ve never lived out in the open before, you’ve never cared more about a feeling than you care about how you’re coming across, you’ve never prioritized happiness over control.

This is why it’s good to take risks that might embarrass you regularly. Because every time you dare to embarrass yourself for the sake of who you are, you’re teaching your body to prioritize joy. You’re teaching yourself to let go of seeming better than the things you love. You’re showing yourself how to feel where you are — to soak in the cool fall air, to breathe in the moon, to love every lopsided moment of your glorious, flawed life.

my friend seraj has created a new chuffed campaign for his family's needs during the current stage of intensified bombardment and violence against gaza. from this instagram post:

"All 13 of Seraj's family members are displaced for the 5th time since October 7th. They had moved back home but had to flee on March 18th with nothing. Though they're sheltered, they still need wood and nylon to build a makeshift bathroom, water for drinking and cleaning, firewood for cooking and warmth, and flour, vegetables, and other food items."

This is Seraj Aburaida's new campaign!

currently $255 / $15,000 as of March 24th and only 5 people have donated so far. please don't hesitate to give your support in any way you can. you can also donate to his paypal
