Choosing to Live Feels Brave

May 16, 2021

Feels like an entirely different time - I wondered, what’s the point of life? Are we really meant to simply to exist and go through these motions that were pre-determined for us by an outdated (and patriarchal...and numb and broken no less) system and society? Needless to say, that didn’t feel right nor like a good enough reason to stay. No, there was no Truth in that way of life.

It all felt so lonely. What does it feel like to belong? I sought escape...anywhere. Sometimes through traveling, through partying, sometimes in work, often times getting engrossed in movies, tv shows, books. I would get lost in my own mind. Anything to distract me from the density of this world...Earth...this place that for so long felt the farthest from home.

Escape? To where? Where else could I go? It felt heavy everywhere. I felt everything, but held on to the perceived suffering + pain of the world the most.

To remember that we are one is such a gift. That we are cosmic and divine souls remembering how to make Earth a home...to live the human experience, a gift.

For the chance to witness duality - a fully human and Earthly experience, what a gift. And then with the heart, mind, and divine guidance to choose to transcend the illusion of said duality...of density and perceived suffering, perhaps the greatest gift.

Choosing to live feels brave. To live wide awake? Even braver. There is bravery in every choice that we make to live a life that is vibrantly authentic to our soul. May we choose that path always. May we find our way back home always. ✨
