Unrelatable

Some of us seem unrelatable. We have learned how to sit with our emotions. How to let ourselves fully feel and then transmute the pain, the fear, the heaviness, the longings…into something else. Into a poem. Into a song. Into a letter. A painting. A choreography. Into compassion and unconditional acceptance of self and others. For us, the hard work happens quietly on the inside. It doesn’t mean we walk around having life figured out. We might be resilient and hopeful, we might seem calm and confident, but we aren’t invincible, and we aren’t unapproachable. Let us feel safe in your presence, accepted without judgment, loved without conditions…and you’ll see the complex, sensitive, questioning, raw, messy, colorful, vulnerable beings that we are.
