Chrysalis
We must commit to living our own life, not living anyone else’s. This is harder than it looks. It has been to other people’s advantage to enforce our lack of boundaries, to the point where we don’t know who we are. Possibly we have been leading a fantasy life, flitting from one existence to another inside our heads, switching channels whenever we get bored, alternately soothing and drugging ourselves with medicinal and alcoholic mood elevators. Time to face the fact that we will have a single physical embodiment, ruled entirely by ourselves, subject to laws we have yet to discover but can suspect. Who will we be? Confined to one choice, we are terrified. How about if we select “flexible”? Well, there’s only one way to get that. Training! We commit to exploring our own boundaries – tracing our edges – safely, carefully and with the thoughtful oversight of trustworthy friends or professionals.
