I used to think ….
But now I think ….
Here are 10 things I used to think but now I think (I think):
– – –
The truth would scare people away.
The truth is all there is to tell.
– – –
Freedom will come at some point in the future.
Freedom is here now, if we want it.
– – –
The best is yet to come.
The present, in all its reality, beauty, and brokenness, is the best.
– – –
Longing and aching and groaning can be stuffed or suffocated.
They can’t, at least not for long. Nor should they be, they’re breadcrumbs of desire.

Success was a measuring stick of worth and identity.
Success feels a lot more like acceptance, awareness, and relationship.
– – –
Defending, protecting, avoiding, and hiding were the keys to survival.
Those things are the keys to imprisonment.
– – –
Compartments for the different roles in life were necessary.
Whole humanity patchwork throughout all our roles seems healthier.
– – –
You should know the right answers. And be certain.
I have soooo many more questions than answers.
– – –
Sacrificing sleep gave me an advantage.
Sleep is deep restoration.
– – –
I can avoid pain, suffering, and uncomfortable feelings and situations.
Suffering is caused when I fight against reality.
