I just feel something and I don't want to be near you anymore.

Without explanation there, it's like something really returning to instinct, to intuition, to body, to getting out of constructs that other people have made for us and that also being within and enough.

Yeah.

And I think when you're saying, I believe Mary, I'm also hearing you say, I believe Megan.

Like I think we almost miss the boat when we are saying they must believe us.

They must believe us.

Because I think what has to happen first is I must believe me.

We must believe us.

It is like we learned young.

There's like strings that are connected between our inner selves and our outer selves.

And we became so scared of our inner selves who were raging and questioning and feeling and railing against all of it that we cut the strings and we handed them to somebody else outside of ourselves.

And we said, you move my face.

You move my, you feel for me.

You tell me what you, and then we became fucking puppets.

It disembodied puppets because we disconnected ourselves from our inner selves and we gave the strings away.

And now we are going to have to rest those strings back from outside of ourselves and reconnect it to our inner selves and start believing the questions and the feelings and what happened to us and the stories and stay connected and keep believing.

And it's also love.

I think women are told not to be angry.

Christians are told not to be angry.

But it's somehow less spiritual.
