Shame is on baby name lists?!

i’ve been thinking a LOT about shame.

so i started some google play with it.

 

and found

that it’s ACTUALLY A BABY NAME PEOPLE CONSIDER!

what the?

 

and these were some of its meanings. as a name:

darling. man. free man. singer. plain. meadow shire. bright meadow. coral. maiden. virgin. charity.

super fucking interesting.

 

i ponder. often.

about the nature of things

and

how people are responding to ‘things’

and currently

Shame & Fear

are leading (one of) the packs for domination.

 

in the personal development world

shame comes up a LOT

in the bodies and BEings of many.

especially when it comes to sexuality.

 

and Fear

well. you know.

it’s a wild, rampant (& often calculated) beast

controlling the F outta many.

and often

they hang out together.

 

Shame has always been a little foreign to me.

i don’t think i’ve ingested it much. thank goodness.

tho

i DO know the look of shame

or rather

the stare of shaming.

 

like when i’m NOT doing the thing

that others are doing

so SHAME ON ME.

 

why the FUCK would we want to add any MORE shame to our shame saturated experience?

 

then

i thought

well this whole crazy you-know-what experience

has been an incredible opportunity to PURGE some fear.

cuz peeps

we wouldn’t feel so damn much of it

if it didn’t already exist within us.

fur realz.

 

i suppose

many of us have been holding HUGE FEAR RESERVOIRS within

just waiting for the opportunity to remove that dam.

damnnnnnnn.

 

so perhaps it’s the same with Shame.

are you dishing it out? feeling it come toward you?

or

just noticing the absolute madness of the now UNdammed flow?

 

i

for one (& prob for many)

would really like shame to be something that doesn’t actually exist anymore.

it feels fucking terrible

in anyone who holds it

OR

feels its wrath.

 

i realize that in order to clear some shit

we may have to feel it first.

 

SO

if you are feelin it

OR

directing it

 

consider -acceptance- instead.

 

we have all done things.

felt things.

experienced things.

AND

we sure as HELL don’t need to make anyone ELSE feel like shit because of their choices.

 

please.

consider.

acceptance.

 

accept YOself.

accept others.

and

accept that we ALL make choices

even if it’s not what YOU may choose.

 

PLEASE

choose to:

Keep Choice Alive.

 

Accept YOself

and your choices.

and

Accept others

and their choices.

 

we DON’T need to be adding MORE shame to any reservoir.

in fact

a Shame Drought would be Mo better.

 

and then maybe

that name- Shame

would and could ACTUALLY mean:

Bright Meadow.

cuz it has been healed INto its next version of itself.

ps. Dandelions heal anger & judgment 🙂
