i think you actually have to be a bit psychotic to be a scientist or to be in any spiritual work. and there is no judgment on that word from me. the more i think about my job, the less i judge myself because all i did was honor how i think and made it an entire career.
it is very easy to judge yourself if you& #39;ve internalized labels like "weird" "strange" or if "special" was used in a condescending way rather than an empowering one. and it& #39;s a service to yourself to empower that part of yourself and remember that all of us are unique.
and you don& #39;t have to be like other people in order to find connection with them. it& #39;s the energy of shared experience and shared values that bond us together, not being clones of each other or wanting to emulate someone else& #39;s path.
for me personally, i was obviously called weird as fuck because look at how i talk and what i talk about. i& #39;ve spent my entire life having thoughts that other people think are bizarre and "crazy" but i never shunned that part of myself. i always nurtured what i& #39;m good at.
i have a naturally rebellious spirit because the energy of confinement and control trigger me and that& #39;s energy i cannot tolerate ... but i choose to assimilate and detach when necessary. i choose to ebb and flow and still honor myself in every space.
