My partner thinks i am taking two steps back by meditating.
This is what came up after tonight's meditation.
Tired of constantly controlling my thoughts and feelings to maintain a kind of pseudopeace that is sacrifice of my own self to protect myself from getting anger from another. Constrant control and manipulation of others and myself out of fear of change and fear of conflict. I ave so many limiting beliefs about myself and life. I need my own life. I need my own time to care about me, to look after myself and my true feelings, rather than ignoring myself for another. I feel afraid and guilty for evn writing this, if this is een I'll bve judged and condemned and apparently it will mean that I don't "love" her. Well I do love her but I need to love myself and put myself first. I've had enough of the drugs and their effect on me. I hate feeling groggy, braindead, foggy headed, out of touch and depressed with myself. I dont get time to even think of myself or to make space for changes in life. I just work the same job day in day out and get no time for ME. I'm either working or with her, to hell with whatever is going on inside of me. Whatever I do share or say is scrutinised, analysed and usually with the tint that there is something fundamentally wrong with me. I resent it.
Do I want her? Well yes but not as much as I want ME. And it feels like I am sacrficng MY love to get HERS. Its an age old pattern of putting myself last to keep another happy.
So what do I need?
To feel connected with ME.
To stay off of drugs and not feel awkward without them.
A loving relationship, with someone who knows and loves me and perhaps shares something as far as this ongoing work in progress known as human spiritual evolution.
Connection with me, well who the hell is that.
Anger comes to mind but also anger without self-blame.. anger is a part of me simple as.
I never stand up for myself when it omes to translating feelings into expression, boundaries and practicalities.
So what do I want
A connection with myself.
Acceptance and understanding of my all and everything.
My health.
