When you meet a monster.
When you meet a friend, do you run away? Do you hide or fight? Or do you say “Hello” and hug him?
When you meet a monster, do you run away? Do you freeze or fight it? Or do you say: “Hello. Let me get to know you.“
The feelings we don’t face and run away from are growing inside of us; they turn into little monsters when we ignore or fight them.
When our eyes meet, and we connect, the acknowledged monster, however, turns into our friend.
