The amount of time I have spent holding something up and asking myself how each important person (or group) in my life will respond to it and trying to edit it to make it pleasing to all - and then finding it's not even what I created in the first place by the time I've buffed off all the authenticity - or "refining it" into oblivion in hopes I won't be understood. OOF.

Mee toooo... constantly working through this!

And I'm still thinking about your last essay - the amount of times I have become "him, her and the fish" - it doesn't matter how many grounding / neutral energy tools I use - I still absorb emotions around me like a sponge.

YES! Oh my gosh. And no matter how strongly I "build my protective barrier" those mirror neurons just do their work! 😂
