The Healing Stage
For me, healing is about noticing the patterns that have been in place since I was very young and reconciling how I was supposed to act with how I truly felt, in a way that allows me to move forward without projecting my unconscious biases onto others. It’s about finding confidence in myself and learning to trust myself to make the decisions that are right for me.
Love or Just in Love With it?
Ask yourself whether what you’re looking for is a grand experience or someone to pass the time. Is it out of longing or out of confidence? Are you confident in who you are or aren’t you? These aren’t hard to answer, but it’s bloody difficult to get to the answer you need.
It’s the difference between Love and Ego.
It’s the difference between being Alone and being Lonely.
You need to embrace rejection, seriously. (Updated)
Every time I have made the decision to move forward, in success or failure, I have learned and experienced more joy than I could have ever dreamed of than if I had made the choice to make no choice at all.
And so my observation is this. Embrace rejection. Embrace it.
Hearing the truth about the one who got away
In the meantime, you tell yourself whatever story you need to, that you can hold onto, that you can build your hopes on, with the idea that maybe over time, or one day, you can change their mind and they will see the light at last… but still the truth remains the same: they just aren’t as invested in the same future that you see.
You’re Alone, and that’s okay (updated)
Ultimately, you are the pioneer of your life.
You are the protagonist of your adventure.
Take the time to find out who you are and what you love. Learn about your flaws and for all the ones you might have, learn to love each of them.
They are you.
