androfeminine: Bailey Jay ~ Born BadWhen I got to the core of my fears it came out in my therapist’s office as “I’m bad”. I paused for a moment and realized how insanely puerile that statement was. I pride myself on my unconventional empathy and nuanced approach to all human stories in yet when it came to my own all I could muster was “I am bad.” It hit me that the reason it sounded so oversimplified was because a child was saying it. With that realization, the spell had been broken. I blurted out, “The grown ups were bad. It wasn’t me!” That was a slightly better adjustment but didn’t ring quite as true as I thought it should. That line of thinking wasn’t worthy of the profound reality I think I deserve to dwell in now that I don’t hate myself. In that moment I learned the intelligent and supremely powerful notion of ambiguity. I learned how to have empathy for myself. I’m not going to start off by denying it to others. I touched my maturity for the first time recently and it was very healing. ~Bailey Jay I just wanted to say, fuck’n WOW! Bailey Jay is my spirit animal. I hope to one day be as strong as she is. Bailey, you’re a true inspiration! ❤️❤️❤️ -- source link
