I have a hard shell, and it is not something I am proud of, but there is a reason for this. I have had to endure so much loss in my life. My grandparents who raised me from birth until 8 years old both have passed away. At 8 years old, I was taken away from my grandparent to live with my parent, but I suffered childhood abuse with them. As a result, I have not spoken to them in many years.
I have lost every major relationship in my life so far, and this has made me fearful of anymore losses in my life. As a runner, I moved many times and lived in many different parts of the country. As a result, I was unable to maintain many long and deep friendships in my life. My losses and wounds caused me to grow this hard exterior to protect myself like calluses that protect our hands and feet from abrasions. Animals and trees have developed hard exteriors over the course of evolution for the same reasons. I am like that.
Now, I am healing my wounds through my emotional release work, and must begin to acknowledge all my losses in order to heal them. It is through awareness of our reality, and acknowledging our own truths about ourselves before we can begin the process of transformation and change. Do not lament my friends since we all have wounds and losses. It is part of reality and living in this world. May you heal your losses in your life. ~ Brooke (Copyright 2013 Kundalini Spirit with All Rights Reserved)
