The resolution of issues is important. I know that - I understand.
But I didn’t realise how messy and complicated and exhausting it is, to try and untangle the knots upon knots within the self.
It is unforgiving, unrelenting work. Once you see the mess inside, there’s no unseeing it. The mind rushes to fix it because if it’s a mess it needs to be cleaned up! So you open your toolbox and you brush away the cobwebs of your soul, bringing to light your long forgotten secrets - and you get to work.
You have the hammer of information, the torch of self compassion, the pen and ink of aeons of tears.
But sometimes, the best tool is the not the one that helps you slay your dragons - it simply makes you stop, and take a good, long look at the enemy.
