Plumage History Notes Trifecta

A huge component to journeying soulfully and remembering responsibly is knowing how to forget. Shedding what has always been within you, functioning as a visceral part of you and becoming something new by ripping those old parts away. It’s a learning process. It’s an awkward process. Is a violent process whose violence deserves essays in your journal. It’s part of our histories as soulful sojourners.

None of us sheds our old selves in the same way. It’s uneven, uncomfortable, and frustrating for all of us engaging it with hopeful diligence and futuristic foritude.

You have to love that new creation more than you love the expired being you’ve overgrown.
