Transitioning out of the Transactional
I used to use people, places, and thing but it only made me hurt myself even more. A spiritual undertaking that taught me how transactional I was as a person, yet how okay it is to be that way. And most importantly, being better with others and myself.
I used to be transactional, to the point where I was TRAN$$$@CTIONAL.
And that made sense given my experiences.
Because I needed protection, from people, places, and things.
I didn’t have the typical childhood where I could be the type of person I wanted to be with the nurturing support of my parents.
But I knew where I wanted to go, if I didn’t want to die.
By making decisions that were useful and bolstered my ego.
So I saw life as a question of survival, and I was a character in a video game.
And I needed to have the best items…
So I felt as if all I was meant to do was use people, places, and things to level up my character.
