You Are a Badass

when we’re hungry, how to not care
about what anyone thinks of our singing
voices, dance moves, or hairdos, we
know how to play, create, and love
without holding back. Then, as we grow
and learn from the people around us, we
replace many of these primal
understandings with negative false
beliefs, fear, shame, and self-doubt.
Then we wind up in emotional and
physical pain. Then we either numb our
pain with drugs, sex, booze, TV,
Cheetos, etc. Or we settle for
mediocrity. OR we rise to the occasion,
remember how truly mighty we are, and
set out to relearn everything we knew at
the beginning all over again.
