on the spectrum of maturity
(liberators vs triggers)

humor vs mockery
satire vs sarcasm
respect vs praise
privacy vs isolation
vulnerability vs insecurity
candor vs bluntness
reserved vs conservative
innocence vs naivety
shyness vs cowardice
self-aware vs self-absorbed
passionate vs emotional
willful vs stubborn

I am still learning not to react when I am met with triggering experiences and emotions. I struggle to mature but I will fight until I find all of the liberty. I will nurture my sadness and dance with the painful feelings of being alone, grow gentleness and let the shallow, the less aware, and the rushing be. Be centered and come back when I am rested and ready.
