Your Depth Will Save You
Ok, beloved. Here it is:
Your depth will save you.
Yes.
The deepest, darkest, most intense aspects of yourself.
It will all save you…if you let it.
It will create the most joy in your life by showing you, if you are courageous enough to look, the places where joy is being blocked.
The capacity with which you have to feel strong, passionate, and powerful emotions is literally what creates opens you up to the most excitement and fulfillment in your life.
It's what makes you feel ALIVE. It gives you purpose, and a reason to get up everyday.
The issue we as a collective are facing - is that particular emotions have been demonized, while others idolized.
It's caused us to hide parts of who we are, leading to feelings of unworthiness and ultimately fragmentation. Which in turn has us feeling like a half self, taught to look outward for our other pieces, rather than inward.
Because if we were to look inward, we'd be met by the very emotions and beliefs that we've been taught to push down, repress, deny, and reject.
(Which is hugely uncomfortable, and we've been conditioned to fear discomfort, even though it would lead us to freedom).
And, if we're rejecting it in ourselves, you can be damn sure you're rejecting it in others.
And then what does THAT create?
Guilt for judging others, isolation, and a sense of separateness.
Thus creating and perpetuating a cycle that slowly kills our spirit and makes us highly controllable to those who would benefit from our fears (no conspiracy theories here, friends, just straight up capitalism as seen throughout history).
And so, what is one to do?
Get yourself into community spaces with those who have a desire to know the truth of who they are.
🦋 Because the truth will save you, and the truth is that you are an incredibly bright light, here to shine from your center outwards.
In these spaces you will feel safe and comfortable to explore that which has for so long been looked down upon as imperfect and unlovable.
The depths with which you can FEEL is truly what will bring the most happiness and joy. It will allow you to experience the fullness of the love within and around you.
It will free you.
So don't fear your depth. Don't cast aside or try to "let go" of your strong emotions. Look at it all, feel it all, accept it all, and love it all.
🌹 All of you.
