when it comes to relationships, what would be some things we would avoid about ourselves? I think having some examples would help me reflect better cause I cant' get to the answer on my own.
Maybe it's your own emotional unavailability that you're trying to avoid. Maybe it's your fear of vulnerability. Maybe it's that you don't feel ready or worthy to accept a relationship.
...so who's supposed to give you permission to pursue your creative fiction writing? I hereby give you permission 🙃. But maybe you idealized the fiction writing as a substitute for an emotional deficit and it's not what you really want.
I think I've had to let myself do it without any sort of expectation of what it HAS to look like. I always get hung up on expectations and appearances which tends to hold me back from just doing the things I enjoy doing.
Powerful! Thankyou for this.
You're welcome!

Do you have any journal prompts to see what we're avoiding about ourselves?
Not specifically, but I would say to first start by noticing what you feel the most resistance toward and explore that deeper.
