I Hated Humans. And What I Did Next.
“I’m going to be alone forever, ain’t I? I am going to be single and alone forever because I just hate other humans.” That’s quite literally what I said. While in a fit of rage, I should add. And then I paused. Let’s me backtrack… I had signed up for Charles Eisenstein’s course. That day, I got assigned a “group”. Yep. The administrators have randomly selected complete strangers for us to hang out with as a group. Together. We can have discussions and share stories… and stuff.

I am single and I’m in pain
This is one of those rare posts where I show you “live” how I work with my stuff. It’s full of seriously cool and useful concepts. At least 5 things that are Important to Know. First the back story I was in a Facebook conversation on the topic of “Single”. When suddenly I felt *anger*. Now, according to Karla McLaren, anger shows up when our boundaries have been crossed. Since I’m a HSP with very thin boundaries, and since I don’t get angry very often, I have learned to make the best out of my anger when it does show up. That is: I feel the anger, allow it to…
