I've been a bit absent from social media for a while. Overwhelmed by the state of war around me, and fatigued by what I see on social media. Enough is enough, and I had enough going on in my life to keep me distracted in an unhealthy way.
I'm starting a new chapter in my life, and needing time to process how I got here - sit firmly in the depth of it all, and eventually get to the point where I stand up a little taller in my heart and my soul.
Along this journey, I spoke with a very wise soul who told me to just pause, not try so hard, just wait and all will start to come to you in the way it is supposed to be. Life is not meant to be understood, it is meant to be felt, so just feel it instead of trying to fix it, just flow.
So I'm embracing my new position in life now. Learning a different dance, learning a different communication, learning a different bond. And with all the laughter, challenges, lessons and tears, I'm growing, and it's beautiful.
A delicate balance between the me I once was, to the me I am today. Never to forget, ignore, or resent my past and those characters in my story, but always to thank, as its through them that I am where I am today.
And most importantly, now taking a step forward into the unknown, not to fear what lies ahead, ever.
A cicada landed on my hand today, and I was caught by it's bravery to just decide to stay, and struck by it's beauty. It is such a delicate creature
It's wings, looking like a circuit board of golden mystery and it's noise - tremendous.
Loud and Proud baby
It holds a lot of symbolism - transformation, rebirth, and resilience due to its unique life cycle. It symbolizes shedding the old to embrace the new, both physically and metaphorically. Which is quite apt for where I am now.
I'm embracing all that I discover,
And with each step I take, somehow the situations and people I encounter are so wondrous, so meant to be, it amazes me. Fills me with light. I have the opportunity to have a choice in how I receive it all, so I remind myself to stay present, receive the love I am given, and keep taking those beautiful steps along the journey of life.
I forgot but now remember
I.am.full.of.gratitude
