FOG
June 30, 2021
SUMMARY
Last night I went to bed wrapped in confusion and doubts, feelingdisconnected and without a sense of belonging. This feeling of being ina fog began when, during a meditation, I saw myself as an 8-year-oldchild, alone and waiting. This led me to reflect on my fears and theneed to stand out, something deeply rooted in my family history. Idiscovered that my desire to be the center of attention on my birthdaysand in life comes from having felt like an unplanned “mistake.” Thisrevelation helped me see that my path is to transmute this pain andfear, becoming a more conscious being, embracing both my shadows and mylight, and preparing to transition from being a child to becoming afather.
