The ideal Sebastien is not me! Somewhere in my head there is the story of a man:
who he is, how he behaves, what he believes. He is seen as the perfect person. So precisely described, until every little detail.
He doesn’t have to be what i want to be, and it’s actually not, but it’s been creating through so many years of self control and manipulation, it’s so deep rooted, that part of me believes that i have to be him.
Every time who i am is not in line with who he is, i am judged and punished.
When too much blame is pushing me down, i rebel. I want to affirm my right to be me, as i am. Anger.
The mechanism of defense get activated.
It can become a furious war. A volcano is going to erupt! I am burning from inside.
My inner defense system is sadly well trained and strong.
It regularly beats up the revolution and no one is allowed to speak about it.
When repeated revolutions arouse and get repressed, comes the next stage of punishment: the torture room.
I isolate myself and go forth and back from self beating up to self pity.
Both of them being a kind of a punishment, and getting stronger and stronger with the years passing by.
I feel so alone, separated. I deeply want a connection to the world, to myself.
But in this dark room, i sabotage any chance of it happening.
Rejecting anyone coming close and torturing myself stronger. Blaming one and the other.
Even more subtle and vicious: i make myself believe that i don’t want this connection!
That’s probably my way to deal with the feeling of not being wanted.
In this vicious loop, I go from burning hot to dead cold, from the desire to destroy the world to the desire to be dead.
The eyes cannot see beauty anymore, the colors fade away and every curve become an angle.
The loved ones are hated, the others stop to exist.
Life lost any flavor except bitterness.
Tension, so much tension. The body contracts every muscle, contract it even more.
A dark shallow breath stops the air to heal me, to nurture me.
I suffocate.
This can go on for a long while, until i break!
Unfortunately, with the years, i've learned how to be very resistant to this kind of pain.
Nevertheless, comes the time that the body and the mind cannot take it anymore.
Suddenly, i loose control of both. I fall on the floor, exhausted.
The body stops to move but the mind still have some poison to throw away… few more bites but i already know that it’s getting over.
When no more energy is left, i am here, on the floor, the mind broken, the body inert, empty.
Time stops. Silence is.
Tears falling, my heart softly beating inside my chest, energy moving within all my body, all of it going toward the heart and filling it. Love.
I remember now, i remember that I am. I remember that I am all that i’m looking for.
I am exhausted, my body aches, my mind is lost.
I feel my Heart. I’m alive, again.
The air touching my lungs is so pleasant. Breathing is a gift.
My body shake at the rythme of the energy moving through me.
I am Loving, Loved, i am Love, still and nurturing.
Held in my arms, i can rest in peace.
What just happened?
The movie ends.
Was it real?
I am not a story, there is no scripte to follow.
Whoever wrote it will have to take it back.
I knew all that already.
Every time the picture is getting wider, the knowing deeper. How many more times do i have to be remembered?
But all this is also a story… i am not a story.
At the end, only remains: I am
