Ecdysis

Ecdysis is the physiological process of shedding or molting the exoskeleton

I always thought as myself as a “brain”, carrying extra weight in the form of a body. Never really considered it as something that I needed, or that I benefited from. It hurts. Everything is always too much or not enough. I thought of it as my enemy. I didn’t realize we were a team, it was here for me, and I needed to be there for it too.

Shedding years of belief is hard. I’m currently going through this metamorphosis. Becoming not just a brain with a body, but a full person.
