There's a saying I adore: "When one soul leaves an absence in your heart, another comes swiftly to take it's place. To fill the void left behind."
As of late, it feels as though the darkness that consumed my soul for so long has finally been vanquished. Conquered. Defeated.
I've been going through a rebirth period, if you will. A chrysalis phase. The phoenix rebirth period.
As some of you may know, I suffered a rather dark night of the soul after my best friend's passing, 5 years ago.
I felt alone for a long time, stuck. Digging my heels into the Earth itself to try and reverse the flow of time. To bring my soul sister back.
It's like lately, I've come to a lot of realizations about not only myself, but life in general. Life is fleeting, and can end very suddenly, unexpectedly.. While our souls are immortal, our bodies are not.
Been healing old wounds, and filling in the space of those gaping wounds with a warmth I've never poured into myself before. It feels good. Refreshing, revitalizing, invigorating.
I also have another to thank for some of these realizations, as not all of them were reached by my own observations. A second point of view: To see myself through the eyes of another, who truly SEES me, down to the core essence of my being.
Sometimes, beautiful souls walk into your life. These kind of people don't show up just to make life brighter, but also to mirror you, challenge you in the best ways possible; To show you the parts of yourself you could not see from your own perspective. The good AND the bad. These people are rare, and oh are they special, in more ways than one. Cherish these people, when you do encounter them, and never let them slip through your grasp. They are a blessing in and of itself, truly. These beautiful souls, they always seem to waltz into your field of vision at the precise moment you need them. A fated encounter.
I have spent a lot of my life settling, sparing my own feelings wishes and wants, for the sake of others. This is not a way to live, not happily at least. You cannot pour from an empty cup, as they say. In order to give love to those deserving: family, friends, lovers; we must first love ourselves, so to speak.
My mental state suffered for a long time due to my "people pleasing" tendencies.. Time is short, and within an instant we can lose what we wish for most. So, I say, seize the f*cking MOMENT, my friends.
I wanted to share this with you all, because I've noticed as of late, it seems a lot of us here within our spiritual family have been going through rebirth periods. Not just myself.
Something in the air, my friends. And I'm drinking it all in. Savoring the here and now; keeping my eyes forward, rather than backwards.
Blessed and so thankful for this transitional period.
