Is This the Final Ego Death?

It is nice when people are acting out of love with you. That can be the best medicine and make your day. When you feel noticed, appreciated, heard, understood, etc. You can relate to others, lose your guard, and be free. What happens if we feel we must always keep our guard up? If we always must have our walls up to block out unwanted visitors? How do we deal with others when these things are going on? The trauma can feel real and can feel scary if this is happening to you. You need people to trust because you are going through something, but you do not know where to look. This can be where you see the strength of a person or of a group and it can make you happy. When you persevere and do what it takes to get through the pain and make you happy. When we change it can bring dramatic shifts into our environment. It can bring fear because the people that accepted us before may no longer accept us. Our lives will not be the same as they were, because we are no longer the same. We need to feel free and look to a new outlook on life, but it never means that we forget. We move on as everyone does, and we appreciate everything that we have. I like to feel free, and I will not feel held back by anyone. I have limited control over my life, but with the control I have I am going to work hard to give myself a destiny that I want. Manipulation is a strong suit I have seen before (even in myself) trying to achieve everything I want. This chain will not hold me down and I am removing the power of manipulation from me. Feeling freer, I shall go after the desires I crave. The answers I seek from the world I shall find. I am happy to be on my path and there is no construction sign. That is impressive because it is the summer, but you feel that air. The air and sunshine are signaling a clear path to walk through. I do not want to be the one that wastes this opportunity and does not walk through. Building my power, understanding myself, I feel alive and am smiling. This will just be a moment, but now is the time to take a mental picture of the moment. Take a deep breath and open your eyes to the world. Is it perfect? I mean depending on who you are someone might tell you the world is perfect, not me. People have had their dreams met here, they have ended up with the answers they seek, they have solved the way to success. Do you feel the weight on your shoulders? Nope, but I feel the wind blowing past me. I want to lighten the load on my shoulders, while increasing the happiness. Can this be possible and happen? I am sure I will let you know at some point if the experiment becomes a success.
