Life is a party inside your head, isn't it? And when given the chance, it's as though all your thoughts are like a large masquerade ball showing up to entertain each other. There are the band of angels in the corner taking up space in Your Head that tell you all the positive, romantic, lovely beautiful things and in the other corner of Your Head are the naysayers leering at the Angels in the other corner. One part of your head had a band of gypsys running wild and your head is no longer a safe place to practice solitude...
In the past if Your Head has decided to stray like that... the way that you most likely fixed it is to listen pair up with avoidance and work more.
Imagine this like a big giant banquet hall. Every feeling and emotion is wearing a costume and your memories are the one hosting the ball. What does that look like for you.

Where does loneliness come from?
I want you to get up with this book and walk into the bathroom. I want you to look in the mirror. What do you see? Do you see where you missed a spot shaving this morning? Do you see wrinkles and the signs of age.
Well, you actually did miss a spot --- Right there....now get alittle closer to it... lean in. The spot you missed is in your eyes.
I've watched men shave their whole lives...looking in the mirror at themselves in a perfunctory manner. Morning routines and "go mode" trying to get out the door to chase that money and provide.
But the spot that you missed is yourself. Seriously.. GET UP and go look into the mirror...look into your own eyes. What do you see?
