My inner existence used to be a jigsaw puzzle with jagged edges, twisted and isolated pieces that didn’t fit together. That was self-hate. I used to know it very well, we were close for many many years. Now, because of my spiritual awakening, I have no idea what that would feel like. But I knew it so very well. The most delightful of goodbyes during my human experience was precisely this inevitable farewell.
