I waited to read this until I had seen the movie. Knowing it was waiting compelled me to see the movie sooner.

As I was reading, I told myself, “I need to read this at least six more times.”

I love your list. Especially the part about telling the truth. Please keep going. 💗

Wow, wow, wow! Incredibly powerful essay Amy. Thank you so much for sharing. I haven't seen the Barbie movie and am not sure that I will either but everything you name I have been feeling too. Including Wetiko.

Beautiful. Coming off of birth control (which suppressed all of the "darkness" in me) in the last few months has been the most healing period of my life. I think it took many years to build the strength to prepare me for the energies it let out. The energies that were labeled bad, scary, dark, evil even...of course I was scared of them myself, I was trained to be. But my body knew what I needed, it even knew that I needed the birth control for years so that I could find some safety before I walked through the beautiful dark labyrinth and found my true self. It's like I have to exorcize that "wetiko" from myself...the self hatred. When I'm in it, it's so confusing...what's dark and what's light? what or who do I trust? I don't know because I'm in the core of self loathing, self distrust. For the moment I'm on the other side and it's just easy...I see the beauty in myself. Who started the wetiko? Like you mentioned Amy, I like having someone to blame!! but was it some part of me? ...🤷‍♀️. I guess I need to see Barbie sooner than later. Thank you for your wise words Amy!!
