“What is she allowing herself to experience that you feel called to but are not admitting to yourself?” This was a prompt I hadn’t realized I needed but I will be using whenever I get feelings of envy.
Just moving through some hard in-body-manifesting grief and insecurities and this came at a perfect time. The song brightened me. Thank you for sharing!
this was a good read. I haven't danced in a while, but it is something I used to do in my own time and my own space and that used to help tremendously. Cheers and let us stop feeling shame at the thought of comparing ourselves to others!
love love love. i’ve always loved dancing but discovered how healing it is for working through sadness only after i went through a tough breakup. dancing and crying and writing! i also love your stream of consciousness writing and voice, your mind is clearly a garden & we all benefit from it. reading your writing has always felt like what my heart has felt and written herself, and i love seeing it mirrored in another. thank you for sharing!!!
this is such a beautiful and powerful breakdown of working to dissolve the poison that we are fed around comparison. that push us into individualism and away from collectivism. thank you for this. i am so thankful you clicked send. my heart lights up every time i read your work. every time i listen to your podcast, see a tik tok of yours, or read something from your substack i feel so grateful for your voice and vision; i always feel so seen, understood, and hopeful. my heart rejoices and sings. my soul dances. i feel connected to a greater collective of energy. i don’t always comment my feelings but please know you spark so much light inside of me and i am so grateful for you. your voice is so impactful, your thoughts are so healing. thank you for being You and for shining Your light. much love sunshine 🌞💗
I love this. I just read this alongside watching the premier of "Unsinkable" ... would highly recommend this film, 50 mins in and it is beautiful. Thank you!
Yum for my heart. Truth. Went through this a month ago with my very Comparison Monkeys. Vulnerable. I have a full draft manuscript on my desk, “Love Melts Fear,” but those darn Monkeys of distraction pulled me in another direction before I queried it. Perhaps it just needed more time to alchemize. You and I are singing the same song. 🙏🏽 so grateful for self compassion and light of these challenges
“What is she allowing herself to experience that you feel called to but are not admitting to yourself?”
I had to hold this for a few minutes, because the call-in is resonating and your bravery in asking yourself that question comes from such a place of deep vulnerability, so thank you for sharing and encouraging me/us to do the same, it really does unlock something.
Also, as someone who’s just got back into dancing, it’s like nudging/shaking your spirit back into place. 🧚🏿♀️
By writing this way, you are creating a world without this feeling of comparison. Beautiful, honest, radical, and full of love and possibility. I want to share this piece with everyone I know.
🥹🥹🥹 literally you’re my roman empire like wow 🤩 how did i get so lucky to be able to read and hear your wise words forever thankful 🥹 the dancing part argh love love love it!!!!!
I'm so happy I found this blog. I've been creating content online for the last 7 years. I've grown followings of 20,000+ on a couple different platforms, and this feeling of comparison is one I ALWAYS struggle with. I can get views on my articles at will with the press of a button if I wanted to, and yet I still struggle with not feeling up to par with somebody else. Your ideas about capitalism and other societal structure's role in quantifying ourselves is valid. I watched The Queen's Gambit the other day and this was one of the messages of the show. We need to work together more. We need to kill the individualist ego that the USA is so great at producing to accomplish truly great things TOGETHER. Anyway, I've subscribed. Can't wait to see what else you post in the future!
Have you ever learned about Sikhism? I think you havent already, you would find the relgion really interesting (although some people argue its more of a philosophy than a relgion. Having grown up with it I really think it just depends on how the person decides to treat it). Anyways, alot of central belifs of it correlate with the way u describe the world. Sikhs belive in a higher power, but its not a personified god, its more like a force/vibration that connects every living thing in the universe together and because of that, the universe is one and we are that higher power and ourselves simultaneously.
