ForgivenFruit

Feeding into temptation is one of my toxic traits. My apple fell directly underneath its tree…so ‘don’t’ usually looks like ‘please do more of’ to me. Which keeps injecting chaos…into the calmness that I’m trying to cultivate. And…I’m doing it again. I usually feel obligated to give myself grace, whenever I invite this type of confusion back in. But today I felt tempted to challenge my toxicity. Because gentle (re)parenting clearly doesn’t work on me. Coddling my consciousness, just encourages me to keep excusing behavior…that I feel genetically predisposed to. So I decided to start forfeiting forgiveness, until actual change takes place.
