So Keith and I had a verbal fight today. As i let go of some of my anxiety, and get closer to my feelings, he set up a weird ultimatum.
if I dislike him because I feel he disrespects me now because I’m carrying over some bullshit baggage from the past, then apparantly I have some big problems to solve and I need therapy.
if I dislike him because he disrespects me for something he’s doing now, then either he has to know about it, or I have to leave - and we have to talk about that.
so I am quite happy leaving actually, if he would let me go. That’s how I feel, because he is so disrespectful of my needs. So today, I don’t know how the topic came up, but I nailed it, and I don’t know how to resolve this fight.
because he started twisting things, because that’s the way he is. Bastard. Disrespecting me.
and I am holding onto the dislike right now. I’m not being anxious, that’s just my feelings, he disrespects me, and why should I put up with that?
a simple thing. I need to somatically grow. I need to somatically play. That’s how I somatically grow. It’s HOW I FEEL AND SENSE THE WORLD. I need to play with it, explore it. And I do it ALL ALONE. I have found ways to SATISFY HIM by being alone. And even when I was with the crowd, it was hard for me to overcome that, but I did, and I would occasionally go into the crowd to play. I would pick a partner, to play with and learn something new.
acrobats are great like that. Swapping partners and learning how to communicate through our bodies together as one. I love it. Everyone is different, but the language is the same! And you learn to balance and spot each other, you learn to spot, you learn to fly, you learn to coach each other.
theres really nothing like this kind of intimate sport! It makes me so excited to be alive! I love to play with partners and develop a little thing together, it switches both ways, one does a handstand, and I learn how to be a better spot - to teach the one balancing awareness off her hips. Then she teaches me, how to feel my hips in turn, what it feels like to reverse that position.
when I was in Austria, I had no one - except my boss, he liked to handle me, and he would do so somewhere quiet outside of work hours yet at work, because he was so infatuated with me and wanted my body. But it worked for me, he would challenge me HARD to balance on one arm, he would actively spot and my muscles would scream and fight and flutter as he would champion me on. With just a finger or two.
then he would get a bit tough and at my command enable progression by yanking my ankles apart so I could feel the next progression, my aim to get a wider more beautiful split in a one armed hand balance. And he would hardly hold me, I was just like putty to him. And that made him excited, as a man. That he was sculpting me.
Christian was somatically connected with me. He was unable to do yoga or handstands and he believed he was incapable of all that, but, by putting his work into me, he grew me as a more whole woman. He made me more tactile and flexible and strong, as a woman. I was his trophy, that he could sculpt into this crazy balancing act on one arm, and it gave him so much imagination and power and ego as a man, to sculpt a woman from a piece of clay muscle.
i have not had this with anyone. Not before or since. As i had a Circus Trainer, a Professional, who way gay, and yes he understood that somatic language, he could coach me with nothing but a finger, he was professional and pushed me hard, and I paid for that.
But. keith cannot do this. He doesn’t even try, or offer, and he keeps me away from friends using the pandemic. I bought a mask just now - for performance, so I can invite friends to play with me, and spot me, and balance with me. I need to get a second mask of different skin colour, so that the other person can play with me. And it will look professional - even though it’s staged and visceral, and raw.
i need to play with others. And I only ever play alone. But that interaction is missing. And Keith will not play. He makes excuses, he attacks me, he says I roll my eyes and chastise him. Which I do. So? You have to learn! But he is not somatic, and he can’t ““feel” me nor communicate.
he can’t communicate somatically with me. He is totally blocked. And yet he blocks me from others. That’s how he disrespects me, and that’s how I am willing to leave. But to go where? We will have to figure that out. Together unfortunately.
as a cerebral and thinking partner, yes I have grown with him. But I don’t owe him anymore, he has looked after me, and I have forced his hand to go on the internet and find his own clients, because I have neglected my own self, my own priorities of being able to find income for myself.
i have been consistently pushed into places in society where I don’t belong. Places which harm me, make me feel worse, all because I was trying to do the right thing, and couldn’t fit in, not with all that bullying.
now it appears I have all the skills I need to develope my own income, and yea it will take time, but I need a somatic partner.
i need play.
i need to develop my own security. And if he does not want to play, then he is not worthy of me staying.
It’s so funny how he attacks me, throws every excuse in the book of not playing. But listen, if you want to play, you play, you invite me, you go out to play, you ask me to join you, as I go out to play, and he does not.
so don’t attack me with that bullshit that I’m telling him off. He’s such a fucking prissy little fucking child who doesn’t respect me. And doesn’t want to play with me.
why the fuck would I chose THAT as a playmate when there are others who simply want to play?
