"How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of heaven! Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven."

    aww thanks :heart-sickle:

    you seem to be taking it as such an easy thing to do, but thats not always the case for folks, like, i have to make a conscious effort to share part of who i am when interacting with people because that just isnt something that comes naturally to me.

      it's never easy. it's scary and it leaves you vulnerable. but it's also the only way to beat alienation.

      it took me a lot of practice. I used to be nothing but walls.

          yea, it took me a lot of introspection to figure out why. every kind of trauma gets in the way and the walls will be there, thorns intact, until you've dealt with it one piece at a time.

              yea, it was the same for me for a long time. only thing that changed it was learning which parts of the maze were safe and using the map I was building to piece together an understanding of why the rest wasn't. in the end, it took an acid trip and a literal face to face conversation with myself to break through the worst walls.
