[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 653038, member: 17542"] It's like jumping off a cliff...letting go...incredibly scary and incredibly freeing once we finally get the courage to jump. Jumping leaves everything and everybody else behind. It's just us, finally, free. We are unhooked from everybody. Everything. We are empty. Then, we can be filled up with new, good things. Things that are for us. Culture works against us, love works against us, other people and the endless list of "shoulds" work against us, even our very instincts work against us ever getting here. If we unhook from everybody and everything, then who are we? So many scary questions to face before we jump. But once we even start to stand at the cliff and look out, oh my, we get a glimpse of what is to come, if we can only take the next step. I hate heights. They really scare me. But by jumping, I have found true peace and true freedom and now, that desire for those two things propels me on to greater understanding and greater peace. I haven't truly left anybody behind, I have found. I have circled back to them now, a much healthier person than I was before. Still struggling of course, but oh so much better. The whole cycle is truly amazing. [/QUOTE]
