Embracing Your Inner Asshole
There’s a part of you that’s not polite. It’s not inspirational. It’s not even nice. It’s the part that snarls when things don’t go your way. The part that wants to smash and burn. Yep—that one.
Let’s call it what it is—your inner asshole. Everyone’s got one. It’s the voice that sulks, demands, controls, hides, manipulates. It’s not evil. It’s just… human. Messy, primal, and oh-so-real.
Most of us bury it. We fear it. We shove it down so deep it festers. But here’s the twist: that dark, furious part of you isn’t just a saboteur—it’s also a gatekeeper to something deeper.
Because under the contempt, under the chaos, there’s a spark. A need. A voice that’s trying to speak. Not to destroy—but to be heard. Underneath the asshole is someone aching to belong.
When we exile that part of ourselves, we fragment. We live fake. We become performative peacekeepers while rage boils underneath. We’re afraid to admit that part of us is us.
But what if we stopped hiding it? What if we let it breathe? Not to give it control—but to give it context. To hear it out. To understand what it’s protecting.
That’s where the power lives—in the shadows we avoid. That’s where our truth gets stored. Not in our curated selves. But in our raw, unsanitized, difficult truths. We reclaim our power by facing our shadows.
This isn’t about indulging bad behavior. It’s about reclaiming wholeness. That angry voice has something to say—and it’s often a cry for safety, for recognition, for freedom. That’s worth listening to.
You want real growth? Don’t bypass the asshole. Walk right through it. You’ll find your unmet needs, your buried passions, your real voice. It’s not always pretty—but it’s always potent.
When you stop being afraid of your shadows, they stop controlling you. Integration isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. And when you bring your whole self to the table, you stop faking your life.
So yeah, meet your inner asshole. Talk to it. Dance with it. Let it teach you. Because beneath the tantrum is treasure. Beneath the rage is wisdom. Beneath the asshole… is you.
And when you meet that part of you with curiosity—not judgment—you unlock your essence. Your truth. Your unshakable self. That’s where your power lives. Not beyond the mess. But right in the thick of it.
