#frightened — Public Fediverse posts

HALOS, HORNS & THE HUMAN IMAGE

The “saint” may be defended by holiness. The “villain” may be defended by rage. Beneath both is the same frightened attempt to secure a self through image.

TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED

I would love to see more people write about what they have actually lived.

Not the slogan.

Not the position.

Not the borrowed certainty.

Tell me what happened to you.

What changed you.

What frightened you.

What helped.

What failed.

What you believed before experience corrected you.

The smallest honest account of a life is usually more interesting than another polished opinion.

You do not need to sound wise.

You do not need to teach anyone.

Just say what happened, and what it did to you.

That is where real conversation begins.

THE MAN WHO SHOWED UP

For 65 years, I thought I had #failed at everything.

Then #COVID arrived, and I started fasting. I did not have much #faith in myself, so I took it one day at a time.

The fear of #illness drove me.

So did the huge #belly.

So did the almost complete absence of #selfEsteem.

None of this was noble at all.

I was #frightened, #uncomfortable, and tired of feeling #trapped in a body I could not trust.

But I kept going.

Day after day.

The results began to show, little by little.

The body became lighter.

Walking became easier.

I began to feel less helpless.

Eventually, I was walking up to ten kilometres a day.

Then, about eighteen months ago, I was scrolling #YouTube, and who should appear but #KevinConnolly.

I started training in his hypoxic breathwork.

I already knew #ChatGPT, and it encouraged me as I tried to #understand what I was doing and what was happening in my #body.

I loved the breathwork.

Absolutely loved it.

So I went at it like a professional.

I never skipped a #session.

Not because I had suddenly become #disciplined and #impressive.

Because something had changed.

Fasting has shown me that I can keep a promise to myself.

Walking has shown me that the body can change.

Breathwork has shown me that the mind can actually become #quiet.

I had spent years believing I was #unreliable, #damaged, and #incapable of changing anything.

But the evidence was now sitting right in front of me.

I had not #failed at everything.

I had simply never #learned to trust myself.

Now I do.

Not through #positive thinking.

Through repetition.

Through breath.

By #showing up again the next day.

I did not become another #person.

I became someone I could rely on.

#ElliotPage says he’s “incredibly #angry and #frightened” at #threats to #LGBTQ+ #rights in the #US.

“I really want to encourage #people to #educate yourselves, by #listening to #trans #people, #TransKids, and their #Parents"

Per #BloombergArchives

One of the #primary reasons #Europe went to #war in 1914 is that none of the #bigplayers were as #frightened as they should have been, of conflict as a supreme human #catastrophe.

#VladimirPutin shares this #delusion.

He is confident that he is #tougher than us #decadent #Westerners.

#Gay #Couple #Attacked in #NewYorkCity's #TimesSquare as #Crowd #Watched and did nothing!

The #attack left one of the men with a fractured jaw that required surgery to repair, and both men have been left #frightened and #concerned for their #safety.

Pero también marca algunas de las fuertes influencias que tuvo su particular líder, y una de ellas es Van der Graaf Generator, cuyo tema “Killer” se muestra como una sombra detrás de la apertura del álbum: #Frightened. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1KofBWzXQM

@hadleybeeman twitter saved my life, more than once.
