Pain is something we should avoid, right? Wrong. Pain is a teacher. It shows us the things we don't want to see so we might learn from them. We should love our pain not scorn it.

I was thinking today about loss. When we lose everything it feels like the end of the world but it can also be an opportunity. What possessions do we take with us when go to zero?

Endings

For the season finale I took it to the streets. Instead of just talking to myself in this episode I asked my friends what they thought about endings. Why should I do all the heavy lifting??? Thank you to Nika, Bryan, Jed, Vincent and Andy. You are all more special than you know.

Please enjoy the end of season 1. See you next year.

Contradictions are not what we think. Two things can be truth even if they appear to negate each other because we're asking the wrong questions. When we look at the world through a binary lens (right wrong good bad) we will see contradictions. But they aren't opposites at all. Our POV sometimes distorts what we see.

It's so easy to hold a grudge. When someone hurts us we never want to let them off the hook. But people are not their actions. It might seem counter intuitive but even if a person does a bad thing that might not make them a bad person. And when we find the ability to forgive someone that has wronged us, we also find the ability to forgive ourselves.

Healing is nonlinear and backwards and tough.There is no wrong way to heal. We can numb ourselves. We can talk to people. We can distract ourselves. The only wrong way to heal is by doing nothing.
