A tiny moment happened yesterday, but it was actually a big moment. A friend took the p*ss out of a video I posted of me playing my singing bowl in meditation. It was super good natured and light hearted but there’s still a time it would have stopped me in my tracks.
BUT I didn’t get that little trickle of panic inside, or the rush of prickling embarrassment. I didn’t even get the after burn pain of shame from realising I had been seen and called out as doing something “weird”.
Turns out that I’m now ok with people thinking the things I like to do are a bit weird. And that feels so good! I spent so long shrinking to fit snd trying to do things “right” that I love that I can be more authentic now.
Thing is, it doesn’t serve anyone (least of all me!) if I hide the things I love that light me up. The world needs more lit up people, whatever it takes.
So I’m happily going to be doing me over here and I’d love you to go ahead and do you over there. If we happen to like the same things? Awesome! We can be weird together 🤭
