roaming in the crescendo of growth
I try to comfort myself by saying that this will pay off in the end
That I may be going through a lot right now
That all this unresolved anger
All this confusion
It’ll resolve in time, in time it will
but I hate belittling my emotions, my feelings.
I hate placing little significance to them that I expect myself to just move on like anger isn’t meant to be felt because it isn’t an emotion I favor feeling
Anger is comfortable though
anger means I have someone or something to blame
And I know this may be an avoidant reaction to the core of this problem which are my insecurities; my vulnerabilities.
But I’ve accepted this fact
So I know trying to blame something or someone even if that means placing blame on myself is only counterintuitive and regressive and basically amounts to nothing in the context of trying to better myself.
Still acceptance doesn’t come a long way without trying to resolve these unwanted feelings
Being conscious of my insecurities is something
But accepting them… that’s an entirely different thing
I can’t seem to practice acceptance without practicing self-blame
And this cycle of self-loathing is one I can’t seem to escape
Maybe I found myself roaming in this circle of insecurity
Maybe it was pre-existing
Maybe it was always there, I didn’t come to realize that it was a cycle until that cycle started hindering my productivity
Anyways, so I try to practice this journey of self discovery by being kind on myself
By being patient
It is a journey… I shouldn’t speed through it or try to force it…
It’ll gradually happen
I know it will.
