Where do I begin with this week. This month. This year. So many changes. Sometimes it is difficult to tell whether the choices we make in life are mistakes or essential steps to complete the growth process. I've been on an emotional rollercoaster for a while. So many conflicting feelings about stuff.
I have been learning things about myself that I don't think I could have learned without making difficult choices. Some of that involves changing how I think about people, handle traumatic emotional experiences, and connect with others.
I've discovered that traumatic experiences can create fear-related blocks in the mind that prevent us from fully connecting on an emotional or physical level with someone. Now that I understand this, I can work to remove these blocks by retraining my thought processes. I don't know for sure if I'll succeed, but I'm going to try. I know that people can change if they really want to.
I hope that I'll come out of 2021 with a clearer vision for the future and for my life. I hope I'll be better connected to the things that matter. I hope I come to a better understanding of my strengths and weaknesses, and that I don't cause emotional damage to others while figuring everything out. It's so easy to hurt the people we care about.
