SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 - PEAK POSE: CROW ON FOREARMS

Now, everybody’s is scroll, scroll, scroll, right? The second we start feeling our hot loneliness, we’re like, “You know, what I need to do? I need to check on that guy I knew in second grade and see how his trip to Bermuda is going.”

And we feel so much better, right?

We’re numb, but the problem is, when we transport ourselves out of our hot loneliness, we miss all of our transformation because everything that we need to become the people we are meant to become next is actually inside the hot loneliness of now, right?So, when we “easy” button our way out, we are like caterpillars who jump out of the cocoon right before we would’ve become butterflies. Because pain is actually not a hot potato. It’s a travelling professor, and it knocks on everybody’s door and the wisest ones say, “Come in and sit down and don’t leave until you’ve taught me what I need to know.” - Glennon Doyle

So I want us to afford ourselves an opportunity to be in that hot loneliness for a hot second. And be in others' without the need to tidy it up.
