Exposed

Today I went to a place that is very dear for me, to Gunvor's path down to the rocks. As I walked that last bit of the path, the sea and landscape opened up to me, I felt almost panic. Panic and pain of exposing myself to this place which is loaded of memories and emotions.

There was nowhere to hide, I just faced all of it. I could have chosen not to, but that's not what I'm about. I felt like I'd be naked on a market square in sunlight. I stopped and breathed deeply and let it come out. It was very painful.

I know from experience that facing my own demons, looking them in the eye is the only way to acceptance and peace. Peace of mind. Finding my true self and embracing it.
