Your voice notes are one of my favorite things. This resonates deeply, as someone who always feels very annoying. Thank you for sharing ❤️

Love you too! Is this my sign to send you voice notes that are basically podcasts about my weird interests like Murder, She Wrote 😂😂

A resounding "yes" to this and a few thoughts.

A couple quotes came to mind while was reading, the first was from Anthony De Mello's "Awareness" that I'm working through right now (so freaking good):

"Disarmed, everybody has to be disarmed. In that final liberation, I'm an ass, you're an ass."

The second was the Thomas Merton quote, "To be a saint is to be myself."

There's something magical about the letting go of striving for the dualistic view of "good vs bad" within ourselves that really liberates your mind to coexist with yourself and all of creation with that "peace that passes understanding." Thanks for sharing this, friend.

I love that you wrote “heart bank” — that’s such a good phrase. Gonna keep it. Thank you too!
