~~We all have 'issues' because we all have a story.  And no matter how much work you've done on yourself, we all snap back sometimes.  So be easy on you.  Growth is a dance.  Not a light switch.~~  Unknown

~~It's dark because you are trying to hard.  Lightly, child, lightly.  Learn to do everything lightly.  Think lightly, act lightly, feel lightly.  Yes, feel lightly even thought you're feeling deeply.  Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them.  Lightly, lightly--it's the best advice ever given me. Throw away your baggage and go forward.  There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet, trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair.  That's why you must walk so lightly.~~  Aldous Huxley, Island

There is so much I love in these two quotes!  It seems that I haven't lost my love of words   Growth is indeed a dance and as much as I enjoy the movement, sometimes I need to sit on the sidelines.  I need quiet.  I need to remember 'lightly'.  Because it's there where I find my balance again.  In the lightly.  

It's been a crazy 2020 and 2021 came in just as unsettled.  It's hard not to take it to heart and it's difficult to keep your own life on an even keel when everything is so.....ugh-ish.

So I am going easy on me right now.  I hope those of you who are struggling will go easy on yourselves as well.  Because too much pushing against being human can do more damage than good.  Right?  

I kind of like being a screwup sometimes   I kinda like not thinking too deeply about things.  And, most of all, I kinda like letting go of all my emotional baggage and just feeling light.

So dance.  And be light.  And let go of those things weighing you down.  Just for awhile.  Long enough to rest.  Long enough to catch your breath.  Long enough to heal your heart and find your balance and regain your strength.  The world will still be there when you are ready to step it up once again.  But you will be so much more than your fears or your worries or your despair.  You will be more...you.  

Thank you for allowing me to express my thoughts....my jumbled, messy often chaotic thoughts   It helps getting it out of my head and into the universe.  Talking, sharing, using my supports....is so much better than smoking my stresses away!  Try it sometime.  I bet it helps you, as well!
