preaching

preaching.

we have all experienced it, so what did you do?

did you listen?
did you tune out?
did you walk away?

the question really is this…

did you get triggered?

I can only speak for myself, but when I get preached at I can feel myself withdraw inside.

I can feel part of me just want to shut down.

I disconnect.

I’m not inspired.
I’m not motivated.
I’m waiting for them to shut up.

this is a lose-lose scenario.

don’t tell me why I’m still stuck in my hole
don’t tell me what I’m doing wrong
don’t tell me how great it is when I get out

don’t tell me…

just don’t

because it sucks to be stuck where I am right now.

it’s dark
it hurts
it feels hopeless.

tell me your story
so I feel you get me
so I can relate.

then I can believe…

that I’m not the only one
that I’m not broken
that there is a way out.

share with me your story

so I can feel.
