If you saw me you didn’t acknowledge me
You walked by and left me cold and lonely,
What kind of person would do that to me
Someone who doesn’t care and refuses to see,
So I will walk away and find a new warmth and light
And not longer will I be alone every night.
Do not run from yourself.
If you feel things deeply, if the world has weathered
you, if you are going through something that is
uncomfortable or painful, or hard – you often have
to decide between allowing yourself to dive into
those emotions, or allowing yourself to numb them.
And, a lot of human beings choose to numb their
experience of the world. A lot of human beings tell
themselves that it is all too much, that is all too
inconvenient, to deal with the depth of their
circumstance. And it is often not their fault. In a
world that has given us so many ways to kill our
pain
through television, or prescriptions, or the
sensationalizing of being cool and favorable over
being inquisitive, and authentic, it is almost a
subconscious thing we do. We try to
protect
ourselves from pain, but ifI have learned one thing
this year, it is that pain demands to be felt. It will
show up in other ways if we do not deal with it.
So, the greatest thing you can do when you are
dealing with pain, Or hardship, Or change,
or
opposition -is to feel it. Please, do not run from
your feeling. Run towards it. Run within yourself.
Meditate. Get to know your mind, your heart, your
soul. Trace your fingers over your wounds. Get to
know the parts of yourself that you have hidden
from the light. Heal yourself from the inside.
