The article explores the concept of 'rawness' and how society often teaches us to avoid or suppress unfiltered emotions and experiences. Instead of embracing rawness—whether it's grief, joy, or anger—we tend to sanitize these feelings, seeking comfort in predictable narratives. The author argues that rawness represents a natural state of being that connects us to life itself. By resisting our innate desire for control and certainty, we can experience raw moments more fully and authentically, fostering genuine connections and personal growth.
Instead of feeling anger, we justify or suppress it. Instead of fully experiencing joy, we analyze whether we deserve it. Instead of allowing grief to unfold, we try to "get over it."
Rawness isn't a flaw. It's what's real before we distort it. And, yet, we resist it because we think it's risky. But is it?
