The Beauty In Losing Your Sh--

Loving yourself, attracting the right partner, even #manifestingyourdreamlife ...😬

All of these things require you to feel your heartbreak, grief and anger.

There is no room for better if you are housing and holding on to hurt. It's not a personal thing, it's physics.

In the last few years I had to close down my heart. I’ve let go of best friends, family, my forever-love and my homes.

There's been times I’ve run out of tissues,
couldn’t breathe through tears,
clutched at my chest in desperation, and screamed with pain.

I also experienced a level of self-love I never knew was missing.

It’s something vibrant within -- a fire, a light,
a thunderous roar.

Heartbreak has given me context: comparison, you might call it.
Appreciation, you could call it.
Depth, you could call it.

When we dive deep into dark waters at the bottom of our ocean; gasping for air, lungs constricted, and barely being able to see...
There we discover lost treasures filled with beauty beyond imagination.

As I feel myself coming to the surface,
I hold these treasures tight to my body with gratitude and hopefulness.

Gratitude to this incredible woman for surviving.
Hopefulness for this woman’s future prospects.

For after the breaking and mending, comes the shining and giving.

Fuck do I have a lot of love to give. It’s something others told me but I harboured such internal darkness that I couldn’t see it myself.

I didn’t realise it was turning away from my darkness that caused my dissolution -- NOT the darkness itself.

Stop fighting physics. Come and hang out with awesome women in the school as we dive into the energetics of change THROUGH the portals of emotional literacy -- the language of liberation.

I got you.
