How I Feel About This Movement

When I realized that I love myself, it became easy for me to let toxic things slip out of my life. They were feeding my demons, not me. Once I stumbled across the secret they were keeping from me, that I AM a wonderful person worthy of love, things I used to put myself through suddenly seemed ridiculous. Toxic people I used to love suddenly became easy to not only resist but completely release emotionally. Procrastinating the things that are good for me, like exercise, artwork, and cleaning my space, became abhorrent. Every day it gets easier and easier to sing, even when there are people around, because I love singing and it lifts my whole being, regardless of how unskilled I am. My default mood is calm and happy, instead of sad or anxious, and it's not nearly as hard to get back to "ok" as it used to be. It feels unbelievably good to know that when I freak out or get stressed, I will be able to make it back to ok and not be stuck in that mode. This is a feeling everyone deserves to have. This kind of inner peace is the kind of happy no pill, no material possession, nothing else on this earth can fill you with. It's not wild and fiery, it's not fragile and desperate, it's solid. It's constant. It's the very thrum of the universe, and once you truly get it, you never lose it. This is something I want everyone to get to feel. It's something that I truly believe would heal the human race if we could all understand it. It's something that must be learned, but the greatest teachers have been silenced through the ages. I am no great teacher, but maybe someday I will be, and right now the only thing I have to offer is my own journey so far. So, here I offer it.
