And then she found her way, not because she knew where she was going, but because she slowly allowed herself to fall in love with the person she was. And that was enough.

The journey included getting lost, it showed her twists and turns she hadn’t anticipated. Her horse blinds of the one track life she had anticipated were ripped off.
“But then she realised she was her own compass.”

She felt lost, unplanned and as if she lacked direction. But then she realised she was her own compass. Where was she going? She had no idea. Was she ready to embrace it with all of her?
Sometimes everything has to fall apart so that something great can happen.

Tread softly and don’t be scared, remember that your dreams are not the only dreams in the world. Be respectful but don’t be a pushover. Aim high because your failures will be your best lessons. Rome wasn’t built in a day is not a random old saying it is a fact, nothing great is built in a day. Life is short so always remember to have fun along the way. If you’re not enjoying it, either accept you can’t enjoy every part of the process to get to where you want or change your end goal. Be open to new opportunities but remember when to say no. But above all things, love who you are every morning, embrace that incredible human and be all of you, every emotion, every mood, every feeling.
“your dreams are not the only dreams in the world […] your failures will be your best lessons[…] nothing great is built in a day[…] remember when to say no[…] love who you are every morning”
Letting go isn’t necessarily what you need to do. Letting yourself land, puts you in a space where eventually you realise one day that you have let go.
Just saying let go makes it feel like an instant occurrence…as if you can just be done with what’s causing you pain. But you can’t. It is not instant and it is not going to happen when you want it to or think you need it to. I’m sorry to say you will have to sit with it.

You will have to land in the uncomfortable matrix you’ve ended up in. It will be raw and uneasy and sometimes the landing will be bumpy as hell, you might even crash land, but…once you have landed, you feel it.
“You will have to land in the uncomfortable matrix you’ve ended up in.”
@tozandothersaltywords
You feel the ground beneath your feet, the soil, the mud, the grass, the tarmac, whatever you’ve imagined landing on. And you stand up. Just like that you have landed…and once you’ve landed in that moment of emotions, you have no other option but to begin following your feet all over again.
“once you’ve landed in that moment of emotions, you have no other option but to begin following your feet all over again.”

Re-trusting your decisions, your path, re-finding your worth and self love. It won’t all be smiles and joy, but my gosh it will heal you, it will teach you true love for yourself. And once you have that love for yourself, no one will be able to break that ever again.
“It won’t all be smiles and joy, but my gosh it will heal you, it will teach you true love for yourself.”
In that moment, as if by magic she felt it. She opened her heart and felt all that had been in front of her this whole time. It was all the beautiful souls in her life lifting her up, They were and are her love, her life choice. Each one gifting her their own sparks of magic.
“She opened her heart and felt all that had been in front of her this whole time. “

That’s the beauty of her friends, Not one of them came with expectation , judgement or demands, each one was happy and content to just be. Not one of them demanded her energy but would receive it when needed In a similar fashion to the way they gave theirs when she was in need. They balanced each other and that forcefield was filled with enough power to light up the darkest spaces any of them could fall into.

That was the love for life she wanted, and as she realised that, accepted that, she knew she’d never be the same again.
