hey, art!
i've always resonated with the idea of just living my own personal life and the whole lighthouse analogy (as i see many of this forum speaking of, as well)--it's a choice i've been moving towards all along. but it wasn't until this recent "a-ha" that i've actually felt the big shift of manifesting it. and this happened not only with friends, but also with my role-playing in my family.

suddenly i'm so okay with "not being needed." and i look at the past as having been a joyful game of experiencing and experimenting with so many things--and it's so easy now to laugh about--and appreciate myself and others--throughout. the pressure to prove myself worthy of being alive is off.

it's hard to explain--but it's so easy to breathe, to not take myself so darn seriously, and to enjoy all of us with a humor that's not degrading. we were all just playing together. at least, this is my perception. empathy played a huge part in keeping me attached to the various dramas. clarity helped to disengage.

as always, the shift didn't come immediately with the choice-making or intention because there were so many layers of beliefs to peel off, but it came with perfect timing...
