Condor Kristen: Break that Ice

I’m approaching my four-month mark since the trip that changed my life and I feel myself slipping away from the ideals and thoughts I came to conclude whilst experiencing the most amazing cultures in the world.

Recently, I found myself being needy, insecure, acting as a footnote instead of the storyline. I’ve reflected upon this and decided that what I have seen and experienced on my journeys has made me realize how important it is to live in the moment, cherish your relationships, and freely express how I feel. If I feel unappreciated, I will say it. If I feel hurt, I will say it. If I feel glorious, I will say it. If this makes me come across as needy, so be it. I feel, that once you are able to fearlessly divulge your true, deepest emotions you are set free from the jail that we often create within our own souls.

But in order to express how you feel, you must be capable of feeling. Please unwrap your heart, layer by layer pulling and digging through the muck and delve into the true depth of your innermost being. No matter how damaged or hurt we are, life is too short to keep these barriers up. Who wants to look back and wish they did, they felt, they expressed, they danced?

A self-made quote to summarize my thoughts:
“Give a shirt off your back or a helping hand you will,
But give an emotion, a tear, a piece of your core; this is foreign to you.”
