Alone.

Lots to learn.

Another opportunity for growth

I want to run and hide, avoidance tempts me.

But any opportunity to face my fears

To allay my insecurities

To find the reality that lives between the truth

And the stories I tell myself.

Making up some judgement - it isn't there

Excusing my pathology, maybe I'm not so strange

Sleeping less than I want to

Feels like it's all always falling apart - some Mills' Mess

With 7 flaming, jellied octopi.

I'm sure it looks like it's always together.

"How do you deal with the stress?"

In healthier ways, I think.

I still give in, now and again to temptation

To spite, to destruction and escapism.

Sometimes I still sleep too much

"Everyone you know admires you."

"We accept the love we think we deserve."

Lesson for the day: learning to accept more.

Challenge: fear of being alone.

Surprise: commitment. Avoidance gets me absolutely nowhere.
