LOVING ALL THE PIECES.

I can be awkward as f&ck.

Social situations can be intense…..the introvert within me sucks at small talk and the Sovereign self is choosy about where she’s willing to go deep…..

It can end up in those awkward moments of silence, you know the ones where nobody says anything and you just stare at each other?
Yep those ones….

And I’ve learned to love those moments, I’ve learned to love the awkward parts of myself.

The awkward part that before sobriety led to large amounts of alcohol consumed to drown her out…..the one that long ago led to a diagnosis of anxiety and prescription drugs to ease her pain.

And now I see her when she shows up in her raw, authentic truth without any medication or alcohol to numb her out.
And I love her.

The shame is no longer, the trying to change her is gone…..and there is so much freedom in that.

I can see her, witness her & honour…….
because beneath it all that’s all she wants.

And that’s all the parts of you that you deem wrong or try to make go away want.
Acceptance.
Love.
Belonging.

What would it look like for you to love the parts of you that maybe you’re trying to make go away or change?

The recovering addict.
The socially awkward self.
The over talker.
The one who barely speaks.

What would it feel like to accept & love all of you?

Freedom?
