Karen Pittman Instagram – What is that thing that tells us we are not good enough on our own? What is the thing within us that betrays us when the world steals our joy? I unwittingly confirm it with my my silence, my insistence on being grateful. “It was a lesson in disguise,” I tell myself. No- it was not. It was the lover who betrayed me by trying to hurt my child. It was the friend who turned frenemy. It was the so called security guard who repeatedly questioned my very existence by asking me what I’m doing “there?” Death by a million micro aggressions. And so that Karen falls away. She must. (Talking ab myself in the third person is a sign of dissociation, I know… you don’t have to tell me).
I am not sad for the pain of whatever the infraction. I mean I am. Emotions are swift moving currents though.
It is the endless work of re- working- laying the concrete on the new foundation of Self.
How many fucking times can I be knocked down and get up again? I guess I’m about to find out. Cause here I go- standing up. | Posted on 27/Jul/2024 07:14:29
