A personal note on Clearing Resentment

I have no answers for you. And God knows, I'm not a guru. I'm not better than anyone or more "advanced". When I decided the theme for September's gathering of The Deep End, I did so knowing that this would be a challenging one for me. Clearing resentment is something that I am personally and deeply enmeshed in. This is something that I have been working through for years, and I haven't quite figured it out yet. I believe that every person experiences things in life that expose them to the feeling of resentment. It's not unique to just you or me. But because it is such a universal experience, I do wonder, "what is its purpose. What is it meant to show us?" Resentment, I believe, is a natural part of our internal guidance system. Our compass. Or a barometer of sorts. As anger is often equivalent to pain or fear, resentment is equivalent to a separate, yet equally interwound emotion.
What that interwound emotion is, may be different for everyone. And absolutely, the origin of that emotion is unique to each person and each experience.
This is why I have no answers.
Heck, I'm not sure I even have the answers for myself, considering I am still navigating reluctantly held resentments of my own.
But I do have tools to help us both get closer. And this is why I feel it is not only reasonable, but necessary for me to host this theme for The Deep End. This work is necessary for me, personally, and that is what ultimately makes it more authentic, more potent, and more integral.
I'm not trying to lead you, per se. I've drawn out some sort of map, through traveling this forest, this path, for years. I have met people along the way that have walked by my side - for a moment or for many years. Each of them have imparted on me little secrets of the divine picture. Secrets that were meant just for me, on my own unique path, that would have been irrelevant to anyone else. These experiences have helped me to form a concept of direction.
An now our paths are merging. You and I. Simply because I wrote this for you and you are reading it now.
Yes, I wrote this for YOU. I am thinking of you now. I am wondering, with misty eyes, about all of the beautiful and challenging things YOU have been through. The people who have appeared next to YOU in the forest. The secrets that were revealed to you, that were meant just for you and would be irrelevant to me.
Your wisdom is essential to those that cross your path.
Have you successfully navigated feelings of resentment? Are you currently or reluctantly stepping onto that path of true forgiveness and healing? Wherever you are in this universal process, there is so much value - the fruit, the nectar, really.
If you'd like to share in this process with me, share your wisdom, be witnessed in your unknowing, or navigate closer to the roots of resentment's separation from self - I invite you to step forward. Send me a message or join us in The Deep End. (learn more here)
You are so important to this world.

Resentment can feel like protection.
It keeps us on guard against being hurt again, keeps us scanning for anything that resembles the old wound. But while it stands guard, it also hides parts of us in the shadows — pieces of ourselves we’ve forgotten, denied, or thought we had lost.
