That’s the most truthful article I’ve read in a while, and lately more applicable than ever. You feel like you just want to escape everything but I’ve realised there’s a particularly futile form of exercise;
The one where you try to run away from yourself.
Life will find you again, when the time’s right, not necessarily by your definition of the right time unfortunately.
Thank you Geoff. It’s important to zoom out and see the bigger picture. People want transformation, but often are not willing to walk through the discomfort to get there. Surrendering is so important and like you say things shift in divine timing not according to our own schedules 🙏
Thanks, Hege, for putting this into words so clearly. I think I have always, always been introspective and able to "read" situations and dare I say, people, fairly well, but there was ONE heavy weighty issue I carried along for decades without identifying it. Like you, I have recently but most definitely faced it, let it come up to the surface and go through and out of my system. It was hard, tough, sad and also made feel very, very angry at times, but what a release! Echoeing your words: I feel lighter and less attached to outcomes, calmer... and happier. Thanks again! All good vibes going your way.
I've been through a lot of change in the last four years, really working on myself.... Therapy, journalling, etc, I am not the same person I was. It is exactly as you describe it, I have found it profoundly lonely. What I am searching for now is connection and in the world I inhabit, it seems to be non-existant. But, I keep yearning for it. Good article.
All the inner work is well worth it. I wouldn’t trade who I am becoming for anything. When we shift internally it often changes our inner circle. Keep evolving and I am sure the right people will find you 🙏

Thanks for sharing Christina. Sounds like you’ve been on a similar journey. Well done to us! Sending you good vibes right back! ✨
I think the world changes somehow and we go along with it. These are turbulent times.
Absolutely. I also think they are times of profound healing and expansion but that is certainly not comfortable
True.
I’m not the same. I hear you loud and clear. Lots of people will resonate with your post. Thank you for sharing
Thank you John. I appreciate you 🙏
You are very welcome

It has been worth it, thank you for the encouragement!
