Listener (Aaron)

I'm just open to whatever life throws at me, including this weird workshop, you know, like I'm receptive. That's worse. It's even worse.

Anyway, I go through the facilitator gives me a nice smile. She and I are buds, so I didn't take it personally. But like I said, mine was not her favorite part of the day. And I take my rose, which I definitely did not earn, by the way, which only made holding it feel worse. And I sit back down and immediately I'm like, did it just sound like I was saying I'm single?

Like, did I just proclaim to the room like, hey, ladies, I'm available? Yeah, ladies. Anyway. You don't know how I said it. So you actually don't know. That's true. That's true. No, the receptive part was also a little bit more. Well, it was a very masculine. I am available.

I believe you. So cringe. I'm having second. I just have to tell you, I'm having a second wave of dance shame as I'm telling you about all this. But anyway, after all that. The teacher plays some chill music and everyone's invited to just kind of like dance with their roses and hang out. 90% of the room is literally swaying with their roses, looking at them lost in a reverie.

And I'm just like, yeah, I can't do this. Like I will do the exercises. I will dance like an idiot. I am not doing a waltz with a rose that was given to me for walking through a circle. Yeah.

And saying something as dumb as I am available. I have some dignity. Do you? Well, after the fact, I decided I did, in fact. So I just sat on the ground and stretched for a while. And then one of the facilitators did a guided meditation, which was by far my favorite part of the whole weekend. It was really good. And then we circled up for some final words, which I have to say were very sweet.

And then I went home. And I was weirdly happy that I went. It was definitely an experience. And I do think it forced me to get uncomfortable, which is always interesting, right? But I felt kind of sad and guilty afterward. It's hard to explain. I just sat, I felt sad for myself that I couldn't enjoy something like this.

Less so after telling you this story, because I'm seeing your face and it's like making me feel a little bit better, but sure. I also felt a little bit guilty. I don't know if you can relate, but when you do these things and you don't get something out of it, you kind of feel guilty of not being a good sport.
