Im Hiding

Sound Familiar? Feel familiar?

There are places in me that I hide— There are things I’m going through that I don’t speak about I’m so accustomed to hiding them from my social circle that I don’t even realize i’m hiding them.

Why is it so? Hiding is Culturally acceptable and even promoted.. Its not human to hide—- Its human to connect.

Empowering ourselves via Connection to what’s real within ourselves and with others is threatening behavior… Threatening to a status quo that has unconsciously signed on to presenting with a smile when things below the surface are actually shit

Its threatening because it could lead to a sense of empowerment and a sense that maybe nothing is wrong with us in having these convoluted human experiences… And if nothing is wrong with us and in fact our stories are relatable… Then we might start to trust ourselves more and believe in our common humanity.

Fuck that’s dangerous! To whom???
