Day 137: No Convenient Version

I got up this morning feeling distant and wanting to just do me. I get like this sometimes. Part of me hates it, but part of me also loves knowing that if I really wanted to go off on my own, I still have that in me, but I do hate that there is always some part of me that wants to run away from people…

Quiet Part Day 137: I can honor the part of me that wants to run and the part of me that wants to stay. Both are trying to protect something, and I am learning when to let each lead. I am no longer interested in forcing myself into a shape just to make connections easier for other people.
