discomfort

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the following quotation:

“People can only meet you as deeply as they’ve met themselves.”

And just this morning, I had a thought to expand on it:

“People can only meet you as deeply as they’ve met themselves in their own discomfort.”

What does it mean to meet yourself in your own discomfort? What does it mean to live a life not numbed out by the pain?

Only then can I meet myself fully. Only then do I truly know who I am.

All for now,

All my love,

Onward.
