Meet me where I am at – Tara Shannon

There’s something you need to know

To understand

From someone who’s been there

And will be again…

In a place of overwhelming sadness

Of grief

Fear, worry

…and anxiety

Stuck

In this moment that can last a short time

Or go on for days

Or weeks

Months

Even years

In these moments

These times

This — this is where I’m at

All cylinders firing

Trying as best I can

Just to get by

Moment by moment

Day by day

And when I’m here

I’m not going to reach out

I’m just not

At least not yet

I’m not ready

I’m too busy

Too overwhelmed in the process of being and trying to find my way

To begin healing and searching out that speck of light in the dark that will hopefully begin guiding me out

So, no

I’m not going to reach out

But you

You… can reach in

And meet me where I’m at

Meet me with a gentle presence

With patience

No pressure

With empathy and care

And no expectations

Reach in

And don’t be upset when I don’t reach back

But

Do keep reaching in

Saying “hello”

“I’m thinking of you”

That’s enough

I know you’re there

And I love you for it

Even if I don’t say the words out loud

One day I will

When the weight of my world feels less heavy

After the sun has found its way in through the cracks

One day

You’ll reach in

And

I’ll reach back

Ever lasting love ❤️

Love never truly fades. Even when someone is no longer part of your life, the love you felt for them remains within you. It transforms and becomes a part of your emotional landscape, but it doesn’t disappear. Learning to live without someone you once loved deeply is one of the hardest lessons, but over time, you find a way to carry on, holding that love in a different, quieter place within your heart.

Advice: It’s okay to still feel love for someone, even after they’re gone. Healing is about learning to live with that love, not erasing it.

Breakthrough

‘When life breaks you, it is because you are ready to be put back together differently.

Every piece of you that feels shattered is a piece that will find a new place, a new purpose, a new meaning.

Trust that the cracks are where the light gets in. And sometimes, in our brokenness, we find our greatest wholeness.

We find the courage to rebuild, to reimagine, to redefine what it means to be strong.

You are not broken; you are breaking through.’

Relationship Red Flags

This is one of the biggest red flags to watch out for in a relationship!

It’s when an emotional abuser won’t take accountability in a relationship.

It’s when an emotional abuser uses blame-shifting to escape taking accountability for how they’ve made you feel.

They’ll treat you disrespectfully, they’ll neglect your needs, and they’ll subtly manipulate you through their words.

But then, they’ll focus only on your reaction when you want to discuss it with them.

They’ll blame you for feeling the way you feel.

They’ll tell you it’s somehow all your fault.

They’ll call you unwell.

They’ll tell you that you need help.

When in reality it was them and their behaviours all along that caused how you felt and that caused your reaction.

Feeling hurt, angry, upset, or betrayed are normal reactions to being treated with constant disrespect or neglect over a long period of time from a cruel and toxic person.

What isn’t normal, is the fact that this toxic person is blame-shifting instead of apologising, showing remorse, and actually taking accountability for what they’ve done and how they’ve made you feel.

There is nothing wrong with you!

Rather there is everything wrong about the way that they’ve chosen to be, and about their lack of empathy and compassion for how they’ve made you feel.

This is without question one of the biggest red flags the gives away a toxic person.

Don’t ignore it, because they know exactly what they’re doing when they do it.

Know your worth, and don’t settle for someone who’s less than you deserve…

Across the great divide

“…Conflict engenders fire, the fire of affects and emotions, and like every other fire it has two aspects: that of burning and that of creating light.

On the one hand, emotion is the alchemical fire whose warmth brings everything into existence and whose heat burns all superfluities to ashes.

But on the other hand, emotion is the moment when steel meets flint and a spark is struck forth, for emotion is the chief source of consciousness.

There is no change from darkness to light or from inertia to movement without emotion.”

— Carl Jung

Vin Diesel : How he treated his partner in separation 🙌🤩

Actor Vin Diesel broke up with his partner after three years, but when they separated, he didn’t take her out of their home. He left the marital house to her and moved to live nearby.

Not only that, he also requested that all monthly bills—internet, phone, and electricity—be sent to him for payment. He completely rejected any form of communication that would interfere or publicize anything about their separation.

After six years, his partner had an accident while returning from a shopping trip…

Diesel stood by her side and donated his blood to her. When she recovered, they got back together. 💙

In summary: either we live together in love with pure and humble hearts, or we separate, but love and respect remain between us. We keep our precious memories and respect each other no matter what happens.
