Been goin’ through hard stuff, alone?

in #poetry5 years ago (edited)


Hey, have you been goin’ through hard stuff, alone?

It could be that...

What felt like rejection, was actually PREPARATION.

What felt like punishment, was actually INITIATION.

You weren’t forgotten, you were REFINED.

There IS a ‘why,’ behind your wound.

It is to show you what a powerful lover and healer you are…
by getting you to first love and heal yourself.

When you are united with yourself,
uniting with anyone else has an honest chance.

Pain is much easier to endure, with right perspective.

⚗️ Hope this (alchemical) one serves. 🙏🏾

Love,
Erika

Hey Erika,

This is all so true. Those 6 weeks or so I spent totally isolated in Acapulco did me some good. Now I like myself so much that the idea of breaking that self time, is kinda scary.

Thanks to good friends like you I got outta my turtle shell yesterday. Hope I can do the same for you, amiga.

Have a great day :)

@highlyfunctional: Aw, Lily... I see why you like yourself so much! I'm crazy 'bout you, too, hermana. And my turtle thanks you. 😘

Love you girl keep the creative flow coming miss your posts :)

And I, yours. Just re-steemed your last one.

GORGEOUS MANDALA. It really could be its own thing, @highlyfunctional.

Fiber Mandalas. Hypnotic Webs. Damn near makes we want to give crochet a shot!

I highly recommend it. Freestyle crochet is a thing and it's fun. That mandala was mostly done freestyle :)

And I plan on making a giant mandala for my wall soon. I'm way ahead of you.

This fits my experience with my divorce to a 't'. I felt rejected, betrayed (punished) and forgotten. It turns out I was being prepared, initiated and refined for my new life! I love that perspective Erika.; thanks for sharing! I see this in retrospect now, but maybe someone else going through something similar can read your article above and his/her ordeal will seem a lot less heavy and perhaps instead seem exciting!

@dooglio: You sharing your uplifting perspective from the healed and happy side is a gift. Thank you. And, I'm thrilled for you! 🌺
