Liberation

The person I needed the most taught me that I don’t need nobody, a painful yet liberating lesson etched in the scars of my heart, where love and abandonment once entwined like fractured vines.

Their absence became my greatest teacher, guiding me through the dark landscape of self-discovery, where I unearthed an inner strength, a resilient voice that whispers “I am enough” amidst the echoes of rejection.

In the hollow of their departure, I found a profound sense of self-sufficiency, learning to fill the void with my own light, nurturing a garden of self-love that blooms in the cracks of shattered dreams.

Their silence became my loudest awakening, alerting me to the realization that my worth isn’t anchored in someone else’s approval, but in the unwavering acceptance of myself.

Through the fire of their neglect, I forged an unshakeable resolve, tempered by the understanding that true freedom lies not in the arms of others, but in the unyielding love I hold for myself.

Winter

Plants and animals don’t fight the winter; they don’t pretend it’s not happening and attempt to carry on living the same lives that they lived in the summer. They prepare. They adapt. They perform extraordinary acts of metamorphosis to get them through.

Winter is a time of withdrawing from the world, maximising scant resources, carrying out acts of brutal efficiency and vanishing from sight; but that’s where the transformation occurs.

Winter is not the death of the life cycle, but its crucible. Once we stop wishing it were summer, winter can be a glorious season in which the world takes on a sparse beauty and even the pavements sparkle.

It’s a time for reflection and recuperation, for slow replenishment, for putting your house in order.

Doing those deeply unfashionable things; slowing down, letting your spare time expand, getting enough sleep, resting …

432 Hz

432Hz is the natural frequency of the universe, used by geniuses like Bach and Beethoven to create music that resonates with the soul.

This means that the universal music scale used 432A to tune their instruments.

During WWII, this was changed to 440Hz, which is like static on a radio, unclear and leaving you feeling off-balance.

But 432Hz brings harmony, and flow. It’s the perfect tune, one that feels natural and uplifting!

Gotta love nature!

Slowing down

“The great benefit of slowing down is reclaiming the time and tranquility to make meaningful connections–with people, with culture, with work, with nature, with our own bodies and minds”

― Carl Honoré, In Praise of Slowness: Challenging the Cult of Speed

We tend to rachet up our activity at this time of year, which is the exact opposite of what nature reveals. The tradition of the “Beaver Moon” reminds us that it is time to slow down and move inward. This metaphor is a powerful reminder that we too are a part of this natural world and paying attention to our need for quiet, recovery and reflection is as important as action and industry. DS

Safe Space

There’s a man out there who will tell you that she’s crazy, emotionally unstable, and aggressive.

There’s also a man who will say he’s never felt more appreciated and respected, that she has created the safest space for him, and that being around her makes him feel nurtured, cared for, and at peace.

Believe them both!

You get the woman you take care of, whatever you give her, she will reflect back to you.

If you show up in confusion, gaslighting her, or are indecisive, of course she’ll seem crazy!

However, if you show up with clarity, know how to lead, and make this a safe space, you’ll see a totally different woman.

Cutting Cords

🥀

My cycle with you has ended, I have nothing else to offer you, except more complaints and reproaches product of emotional exhaustion in which I find myself.

I don’t want to continue in a relationship that steals my peace and causes me more anguish than happiness, I realized I had an idea of our relationship that didn’t fit reality, I idealized you, I dreamed you, I granted you attributes that you finally didn’t have.

I gave this relationship a lot of chances because I held on to my good memories and my idea of a future with you.

I let you go and close this chapter.

I understand that love is not demanded and should not be forced, I leave this relationship, to focus on the most important relationship in the world:

The relationship with myself ❤️ 🩹

Ever present effort to control via a toxic narcissist

Toxic is when they can’t seem to let you go, but at the same time, they don’t treat you with the care or respect you deserve.

It’s when they want you around, yet make you feel unimportant or invisible, leaving you stuck in a cycle where you’re constantly giving, but never receiving the love or effort you need. It’s exhausting to hold on to someone who doesn’t show up the way you need them to, but somehow still keeps you hanging on.

Loneliness

“Loneliness is not just the absence of people. It is the absence of purpose, the absence of meaning. When you find yourself in a world where everything seems alien and distant, where every connection is superficial, and every attempt at understanding is met with indifference, you realize that true loneliness is not being alone, but feeling alone in a world that no longer makes sense.”
