I might be catching feelings for someone.
We experienced a special night together, we opened up and got closer. I find myself thinking about her, differently to other women in my recent past.
I find myself feeling fearful, the vulnerability is frightening.
This feeling I’m experiencing, makes me want to pull away.
I find myself catastrophizing, playing scenarios of destruction in my head thinking that will make it easier if I expect the worst.
It wouldn’t.
The pain would still be immense, and I would have wasted precious mental energy in creating negativity into my life when I should be practicing ultimate presence, ultimate awareness. That is the way of the creative man that I claim to be.
Do not formulate futures, do not dwell in the past. You have a NOW to attend to.
Why am I so afraid of hurt?
I’ve experienced it so many times, I should be conditioned to it by now.
I’ve survived and built myself back better and stronger every single time.
If anything, I should welcome pain as the greatest motivational force of my life.
Pain will never go forever.
You just get more used to it.
This is what life is.
This is what makes life.
Without pain, how can one ever appreciate the highs of life?
Eros is working. But I find myself afraid of what seems to be happening to me.
I need to embrace it for what it is, so that I don’t subtract the beauty of life from living.
I have Summertime/Regeneration coming soon.
I’m counting down the days, awaiting its arrival.
