I used to feel minuscule and absolutely pathetic if I couldn’t see someone’s “rejection of me” coming and acknowledge it before they could tell me that it was going to happen... and I had to stress wildly how TOTALLY FINE WITH IT I was. I never knew it is impossible to be rejected... unless you believe in the concept of ‘rejection’. I used to feel 10-feet tall when I showed everyone around me how much “smarter” I was than everyone else. I used to live for the “you’re so much older than your age” comments. I needed inferiority to make me feel superior. This caused me to miss so many moments where I could have learned from those around me who had a knowledge perhaps wiser than my presumed intellect. So what was all of that about? What was happening internally that evoked these external actings out? I think back on the panicked rush of adrenaline I would create within myself merely by my thoughts. I have so much empathy for the girl inside desperately wanting to measure up to an impossible standard she could never quite reach. Now, I feel small when I gaze upon the wonder of the stars, of earth, of a sunset, of the universe and all of its remarkable intricacies. These same experiences give me the sense of being 10-feet tall (or 100)- that I’m a part of this incredible quantum existence, that in the scheme of the macro even my micro energetic field matters against the whole. ✨ (Photo Magick: @originalmccordgirl )」12月18日 13時44分
