Humans Denying Humanity Causes Suffering

Why do we deny what we are? Whatever the reasons, there are dire consequences to rejecting ourselves- contrary to astoundingly popular belief. 

That’s why Rebel Us Love is dedicated to exploring what it means to be human. Any answers we do find might just show us the strength and clarity we need to break free from the restraints we find ourselves in so we can grow- personally, and together. 

Sincere expression seems rare today, doesn’t it? So, let’s get real- shall we? 

Human to human. 

We Are That We Are

Have you ever found yourself paralyzed in some corner, afraid to be- scared of the thoughts that pollute your mind, and even more terrified by the feelings haunting you from below? 

Self-denial has unfortunately been a cornerstone in my life. 

That has led me to nothing but excruciating misery and prolonged, seemingly never-ending suffering. (You too?) 

For better or for worse, that agony taught me all about what it means to be human: the glorious, the destructive, the ugly, and the beautiful. 

I’ve seen the puzzling lengths people will go to in order to run from themselves. I know too many silly games embedded in the human condition, the chronic lies, and the silent sorrows. 

I know the price we pay for doing that, as well. 

Civilization practically demands we reject who and what we really are. Look around, how’s that going? 

Rampant narcissism, insecurities and fear taking control everywhere, and seemingly nowhere to go. Is that what we really want? 

It looks like a good time to try something else. I would say “self-love,” but let’s face it. That notion has been diluted so much, it’s no longer meaningful. 

So, then, perhaps it’s time to accept our own damn humanity. Let’s start by looking at ourselves, shall we? It might just be the only chance at personal empowerment we have left. 

It’s the only thing that helped me see through the lies in my own life, giving me a chance to finally grow. 

Are you in? 

We can grow individually, together.
