there's this fucking wild feeling i cant describe. i've never felt it before. i can let myself do something, purely to make myself feel good. knowing i can do this at anytime feels powerful. it's unleashed a bliss inside of me that has been barred by me fighting against myself. it unlocks so many things. i can appreciate, express, let go, and recover. it wasn't that i needed to give myself permission, it was that i needed to be aware i wasn't.
