As they say, as above, so below.
Going with the flow has been both freeing and heartbreaking. And honestly, I couldn’t do it any other way, anymore.
When we know, in our gut and soul, we know. Learning to trust that knowing is a practice.
We can care for and support someone without taking care of them or trying to save or fix things for them.
Love is about freedom, not possession. That doesn’t mean there aren’t boundaries nor that we can treat people cruelly or unkindly. It does mean we don’t attempt to control another and base what access they have to us on their behavior.
Compromising who we are at our core in order to get support is a survival response. And occasionally it is necessary, however it ultimately leads to conflict and resentment
When our relationships shift and morph, we need to take time to grieve what has ended and what is lost. This doesn’t only apply to endings.
Bubbles feel safe and cozy and can allow for growth and healing. However, bubbles always burst at some point. How we manage the grief and fallout of that bursting is part of our healing and growth too.
I want another phrase for “I’m sorry” when we don’t actually have anything to apologize for but are still sad a person is going through something difficult
I don’t believe things happen for a reason. I do believe we can make meaning of traumatic experiences.
I believe in karma but not in the sense of we “get what we deserve.” I believe karma is about opportunities for soul growth and that some experiences and relationships are richer with more opportunities than others.
Trauma work is soul work. Healing trauma is, in part, a spiritual process
Being in the acknowledgment of what is and simultaneously in the allowing things to unfold in their own time and space, is a process and practice.
We never really know how much impact we have on a person, even if they tell us. Some things are too profound to describe in mere words.
We should take every opportunity to tell people what they mean to us, even if our words can’t fully convey the feeling or meaning of it all
Accepting care and appreciation can be challenging for many of us. Doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do the work to be able to be able to though.
We need to give people the space they need to process, heal, and grow. We need to give ourselves this space too.
Trusting kairos actually can become very easy, even automatic and instinctual. We need to do our attachment healing and trauma work first though in order for this trust to grow, deepen, and become embodied
Feeling in our marrow and sinew the truth of something can bring both profound grief and profound gratitude and happiness. In other words, we can smile and soften as we weep and wail.
We are intricately and intrinsically entangled, intertwined, interconnected, and interdependent. We are simultaneously autonomous, separate, independently whole and holy beings. This is the paradox of humanity, nature, life, and the universe
PS : I saw Madonna with my bestie on Sunday (It was an amazing, life fulfilling experience) and got some new tshirts (one in first selfie) plus an image of me dressed up before leaving for the show below xoox
PPS : As I move away from social media, I will be making more posts here, sharing more images and memes, and generally being more present. As always, takes what resonates and leave the rest. 💜
