#Stuff

I am ignoring my daughter’s laundry basket. It is bursting right over the top with her dirty stuff. I keep ignoring it. I am good at that. I just keep stepping around it, beside it, behind it. I just keep looking away and averting my interest to other things in her room like her bed and desk. Nothing needs more attention then the stuff in her basket that I keep ignoring. I will get to it. I will get to it when it is overstuffed, spilling on to the floor, and I can’t ignore it any longer.

I ignore other stuff too. I ignore stuff that makes me feel uncomfortable like the credit card statement, the dent on the passenger side door of my car, and that nagging pain in my lower back. I have a lot of stuff to ignore because I am always busy doing stuff. I am always working on business stuff. I clean up stuff in the house. I pick up stuff at the grocery store. I make stuff up to avoid phone conversations with telemarketers. So much STUFF. It is everywhere. I am surrounded. At some point, I have to deal with this stuff!

My mind is LOADED with stuff! I have stuff I need to buy for the kids. I have stuff I want to try in my workouts. I have stuff I need to add to my classes. I want stuff to give to my clients to reinforce our sessions. I look at stuff to post to my social media. Really, I have a lot of STUFF.

I stuff my feelings and thoughts too. Anger, fear, shame…I just keep stuffing things down . Stuff is so jam packed in there that I can feel the stuffing trying to come out. Stuff in my stomach is pushing and bulging my distended belly. Stuff in my head is aching and distorting my vision. Stuff in my heart is painful and heavy. It has come to a crossroad, and the time is now. I simply must deal with my stuff.
