Talk About It

Not until this year did I begin

To share things with other individuals

That I would have deemed useless to talk about before

I think that labeling certain subjects as
"Not worth talking about"

Was more of an excuse to not put

The energy into resolving certain issues

Or having to go through some very

Uncomfortable moments and emotions

It's amazing how we keep ourselves

From releasing traumas that are

A barrier to our growth

HOWEVER...

I have learned this year that

The sooner I talk about something

The sooner I can begin to release

The experiences, emotions, thoughts

That keep me stuck in a rut and

Make it difficult for me to find clarity

In the last two weeks 

I finally shared with someone

Something that I had been holding back

FOR YEARS!!

Like twenty years

O_o

Yikes!!

It was definitely a topic that

I didn't talk about because

I thought I was being immature,

I was making myself a victim,

I was imagining it,

It just wasn't real and

I didn't want to tell anyone because

I didn't want to be judged as

Crazy

Aahhhh... yeaaaahh...

BUT...

The first person I shared it with

Completely, totally, understood me and

Knew exactly what I was talking about and

She clearly saw what I saw in

Just the same way

I can't even begin to explain the amazement

I felt to hear that someone thought the same thing

I had been thinking for the past twenty years,

And this person hasn't even been around that long but

Can already see what I have seen all along

I think this first experience motivated

Me to share with another person and

When I did...

OMG

It was unbelievable

I was given terminology, theory, researchers name

examples, explanations, solutions

Just unbelievable
It feels like I lost fifty pounds
Of emotional baggage and
Self-doubt

Talk about it please
:)
