"I'm a longer, Dottie. A rebel."

I walked a similar path, and felt the need to prove myself for a long time, until I realized that the only person my actions needed to impress was me.

But it's still solitary, and I feel this!

I can really relate to this. I’ve been in that place for so long. At one point a few months ago, I had the thought “Have I just expanded myself right out of this world? Is my wholeness-based perspective now separating me from most of the whole?” But something is shifting in me now as I enter a new phase, and I am suddenly connecting more than ever. I just published a post about it called “Moving Into a New Home.” Thank you for sending up your beacon. I’ve often felt that is what I am doing and it’s how we find each other, and say “You are not alone.” 👋
