I can relate, there have been times when being closed off or selfish would have saved me some pain and suffering... but in the larger picture I am grateful for choosing to stay open and sharing. It makes for better emotional, mental, and spiritual health, and it helps others to choose the same.
My favorite lyrics are from a Jimi Hendrix song, If 6 was 9. It says "I'm the one that's got to die when it's time for me to die, so let me live my life the way I want to." At the end of this journey, I want to be able to feel accountable for all my actions, and that means being myself, and choosing love. <3
Same. I want to be myself and I want people to learn from me as I am learning from others, so that's why I share a lot and also to connect with people and find common ground.
So my brother introduced me to Jimi Hendrix, but it was to listen to how Hendrix played the guitar, so I never really listened to the lyrics 🙈. I'll definitely check out those songs again.
