Hi Sarah,

These two lines

I’m cueing people to think my name is weird by being weird about how I share it.

but that’s what I’m trying to do, rather than taking responsibility for my self-respect.

Responsibility is a word that's thrown around and it's so easy just to have an understanding of what it means. But there's all these subways that it plays out in existence that you don't stop and think of as – responsibility

“This Libra Full Moon is a time to let go of our co-dependent habits that inhibit our ability to show up authentically as ourself. Let go of the habits and the cycles that have us seeking external validation. Stop dimming your light. Stop not being your full self because you think it might make someone else uncomfortable. Stop being uncomfortable when that’s not your responsiblity. Stop personalizing what isn’t yours.” This part is hitting home as Im currently in a situation where I chose my co-dependent desire over my authentic needs. The yearning for independence grows stronger every time I practice discernment though. Such a journey. Thank you!

Maybe—Stop is too harsh— as I reflect on it. Because, maybe, just maybe, we can't. And maybe self-healing isn't about stopping bad habits, eradicating them—but learning how to live and manage them. The awareness of our codependencies is how we start taking the responsibility of managing our self-love. Anyway—thank you for reflecting this back to me ~~

That makes sense to me, like maybe we dont need more commands (stop, do, be), just more compassion in the unfolding of patterns that feel dissonant. Thank you for your work and time✨
