Circling Back
Welcome Back! 4 months ago I started talking about fear. Why? Because we ALL experience it. The question becomes whether or not we're willing to admit it . . . not just to others, but, most importantly, to ourselves. In many ways, this is my journal. And most people do not share their journal entries publicly. Maybe that's part of why so many of us suffer alone. I think most of us want to appear as though we have it all together. Why? Because we do not want to appear weak. I know because that's me 100%. Boys are taught from a very young age to "suck it up" and "put your big boy pants on". And for decades, women have become conditioned to "put your big girl pants on" too. "Be strong" "Your better than that" . . . and countless other things that we're told by loved ones. And they all mean well!!! But that leads to us burying our feelings and playing ostrich. We suffer in silence so ...
