What is your why?

Where do you put your feelings when there is no where to put them in the world so you have learnt to carry them around with you, squeeze them into the corners of your life or numb them out with scrolling or shopping or stuffing your face until they grow stagnant and heavy within. When we share them, when we have a place to look at them in the light and get curious, fear subsides and tells us what is really going on; what we may need.

Don’t you want to live a life knowing what you need - discovering that it’s often now what you think, but something true to you.

Need to know you belong

Need to know you matter

Need to know you are ok.

Needs that feel so personal, that we all feel.

Your feelings are not these things that you have been sold: discomfort an inconvenience to mute. No. They are pushing you to recognise what is actually comfortable for you.

Emotion.

This amazing energy in motion, needs to be in… motion!

This week, with my paid subscribers, we have been looking at how using ‘found’ poetry can help us to express what we have no words for.

Here is the prompt for today:
