I fully agree with you Lori. Thank you for writing this. We need to have the courage to show our Soul and our Shadow even when there is no container to hold it. As more of us do this we create a community of authenticity which by definition is ‘safer’ for us to be authentic in. In my opinion, not knowing Anthony Bourdain personally, but gaining a sense of him from his shows, I always saw his courage in being transparent about his ‘darkness’. Our society as a collective, glorifies the glamour and denies the darkness, as you have stated, glorification of the ‘bad boy’ image. Yes, underneath is untransformed pain that led to an untimely death. We must begin and continue this conversation toward creating a more authentic society where the shadow and darker aspects of self are safe to express and we are supported in our effort to heal and transform them.

In gratitude for your piece.
