The cosmic-accountant model of sacrifice never held up for me either, mostly because it assumes suffering is the payment method some intelligence underneath actually accepts, when it might just be what resistance to that intelligence feels like from inside a body.

This. "It begins with what you stop pretending you can live without." Thank you for sharing. This seems to be a theme among women who are finding their true selves and answering the calling within. Love it!!
