Interiorly, we all hold traits or ways of being that we find compelling and simultaneously hold as impossible for us to ever embody.

There is a roiling sort of shame that rises up anytime that secret wish to be seen seems to be apprehended by someone else. We curve back at the mere mention of our own desire to be seen as…

brilliant.

desirable.

creative.

enchanting.

magnetic.

mysterious.

alluring.

beloved.

Maybe we find it so humiliating to be known in this way because the first place we learned these traits to be impossible for us was in childhood. When we were young, shame taught us what might be possible. Shame taught us it would be humiliation to be seen trying to be something that isn’t for people like you.
