Passing thoughts
A random list o tings
Missing. Craving. Allowing. Breathing.
Having the expectation that adults act like adults and not be selfish, hoarding, childish assholes is apparently too much to ask (waves broadly at the world).
Life is complex. People are complex. Situations are nuanced. Be kind.
Following our soul, not our woundings, is a life long practice.
When we live and love outside the status quo it can feel lonely at times. But that is how we find our people and our true path.
Spirituality without bypassing means facing our shadows and taking accountability while also trusting something(s) greater than us is also at play.
Being in emotionally intimate relationships is a practice of coming together, dissolving into one, then coming back apart, separate yet connected, our Selfs changed, moving fully in our autonomy, over and over again.
It’s okay to want something different now than what you wanted before. It’s okay to change, evolve, devolve, and morph. This is all part of the beauty of being human.
Feeling safe (enough) in our bodies happens in layers.
We need to learn how to be in nurturing and nourishing relationship - with ourselves, each other, every being and entity on our planet (and beyond).
The master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house.
Shaming someone into submission is abusive.
Disrespect and disregard are met with withdrawal of time and energy in our adult relationships.
It is not our job to teach adults how to love and care for us or how to act in emotionally mature ways.
There is no reversing or undoing The Ick once it sets in.
Casualness and acting “cool” is weak and childish. Passion, soul connection, vulnerability, and commitment are signs of emotional maturity and strength.
Never mistake a person’s kindness for weakness or a lack of boundaries.
When we know, we know. Listening to our knowing, trusting and following it, is a practice.
