A Cultivated Life

Unapologetically

At no other time in my life have I felt more like myself than I do today. 

Unapologetically. 

There is no filter or version of me to present, only me. I realize that this fact keeps me from fitting in to many groups and categories; that’s ok. 

I may swear a little or a lot, depends on the day, but I’m a shameless God lover and avid seeker of deeper surrender. 

I may be ungenerous with sharing my body with another but I Love freely. 

I may be able to look at and experience others with immense empathy but still fall prey occasionally to hyper-criticism toward myself. 

I feel like it is all a part of the process; another component of loving myself wholeheartedly + growing spiritually.

There is something to be said about letting go of Shame. To bring all of yourself into the Light. 
Those that disagree with your choices have no bearing on your decisions. And while you may wish no ill upon anyone you realize it is not your responsibility to make everyone else comfortable in their story. This is Your Story, and you hold the pen. 

A key factor in unfulfillment is found in not clearly identifying your sense of self. There is liberation in knowing exactly who you are. 

I knew a while back, maybe the beginning of the year that I was embarking on a new chapter in my life. I didn’t know just how rich this one would be.
