"Hello, hello? Is this thing on?"

She said,

This is an intervention. We're not happy with the way you're living your life. You've become far too timid. You're blending in to make things easier, but you're making it harder on yourself in the long run. You can't chip away bits of yourself to fit in to this world. You've lost too much of yourself and it's hurting you. Remember that you're not alone and we're here for you. Don't make any decisions, no matter how small, without talking to us. We're always here and we'll always take your call. Remember you have a body! Use it! You're too stuck in your mind and that's making you miserable. Make a plan and follow it. Don't let timid Vera take over! Decide who you want to be and become her. You've done it before, but it's been too long. Let's make a plan. Three goals. What do you want to accomplish in the next month?

1) Find a chorus and sing at least once a week.
2) Get a job that fits better.
3) Make an appointment with a doctor.

Ok, good. Now repeat them back to me. We will help you with this. Call us any time.

And then I asked him if he was my strength.

"No. You are your own strength. I am your tiger."

You are an incredibly strong person.


I hope leaving this comment here doesn't come off as selfish, but I'm really curious: how do you find your spirituality? I feel very turned off from my old religion, and I've found myself drawn more and more towards the calm spirituality that seems to radiate from people with pagan leanings. I have a book or two to read, but it's a really confusing journey.

I'd love to hear more about your discoveries.
