internal-acceptance-movement:

We have been taught to hold back our emotions.

To censor how we feel.

To keep it together and be strong.

But by casting aside our feelings, we invalidate them.

By hiding away our true emotions, we accept the lie that what we feel and who we are, is wrong. 

We need to redefine strength.

Being strong isn’t denying your feelings, it’s embracing them.

There is a power in vulnerability. 

A freedom in allowing yourself to feel whatever it is that you feel.

Only when we become honest with ourselves can we be honest with others.

It’s this honesty that allows connection and love.

An honesty that perpetuates growth and self-acceptance. 

Decide that you will never again allow someone to silence your feelings.

No one has the power to invalidate how we feel unless we let them.

Don’t give away your power.

Open your heart.

Speak your truth.

Embrace your feelings.

Don’t ever hold back what makes you, you.

the telephone pole outside my house - today

i can’t remember the last time i made a call on a landline. before christmas last year anyway. we all hold up little radiating talky devices up to our ears for god knows how long every day. can’t imagine, or maybe i just don’t want to, what they’re doing to us all. think of the simple, noble, save, stoic telephone pole sad but heroic, no longer vibrating with our calls home to parents, or long calls to the new loves in our lives, just the odd call from the jail house maybe. they seem to me now like lonely but diligent sentries guarding a long abandoned fortress. to you, noble sentry, i doff my hat with one hand while the other adulterous paw gropes in my pocket guiltily for my mobile phone like gollum and his precious and i feel, both at once, complete and empty.gL
