“Sometimes, I worry that I am violating your privacy” she said.
“Oh, how?” I asked.
“Well, I am in your home and I have met your children. I know your mother and your partner. I see how you live and even what your home smells like and feels like. Sometimes, I wonder if you want that.” she responded with a high degree of empathy.
I smiled both internally and externally. I had had this conversation multiple times in the past couple of weeks. I went on to explain that part of my life and souls work is to live authentically out in the world for people to see. I had felt that from the time that I was a small child, yet it wasn’t until I was in my 30s that I truly understood it. Even when you look at my numerology it outlines this. My inner and outer personalities are the same number, 11. The person who I am internally, the one who I let my closest friends and family see is very much who I let the world see. I had to work to get there, but I truly feel that I am there. I am in a place where I feel safe enough in myself that I can show up as who I am to the world and when people do not like my uniqueness or my self expression it doesn’t make me flinch anymore.It isn’t a violation for me to share my life openly, it is who I am.
