“I once had a garden filled with flowers that grew only on dark thoughts but they need constant attention & one day I decided I had better things to do.”

It's therapeutic to begin writing again. Here is a short piece on the hesitation felt when developing as a person. Growing up and standing in your full power is intimidating, and it can be tempting to stay in your comfort zone.
Being connected
In a world disconnected
Is uncomfortable as hell
I'm getting to know myself, just now
Someone I neglected for 25 years
Someone I drowned out with smart phones & Netflix & vibrators & Pinot
She isn't letting me ignore her much anymore
She makes my tummy ache
She makes my hangovers hurt like hell
She throws tantrums until I say
Hi
You
When she's scared, I tell her I'm here
When she's lonely, I tell her she doesn't have to be alone anymore
When she's mad, I validate her feelings
This relationship scares me
I avoid it often
Probably because
It's the most important one I'll ever have
And I'm terrified of how powerful I will become with her by my side
Power means responsibility
And I like my Netflix & wine a lil too much
