The Monster in my Mind
Fierce and frightened. Frightened and fierce.
Many of us know something of the monster in the mind: the harsh inner voice, the relentless replaying, the shadowy sense of dread that looms larger the longer we meet it alone. Often it sounds certain, cruel, and convincing, repeating itself so insidiously that it can begin to feel like the truest thing about us.
Perhaps the monster is also a protective pattern, formed in service of survival and belonging, bellowing because somewhere within our systems a younger part is still waiting, still watching, still fearful that no one is coming. Its ferocity is fear. Its repetition is a signal sent again and again, hoping to be heard.
With this in mind, perhaps what the monster longs for most is company: an Other who stays, who is curious, who remains steady enough for the fear beneath the ferocity to slow and show itself. In togetherness, what feels monstrous may begin to make sense.
Fierce and frightened. Frightened and fierce.
Alarmed aloneness cannot be processed alone.
