“I love you. I care for you. I hold you ❤️”
In contact with the other, we come to recognise our boundaries, frustrations, needs and desires. And in contact with ourselves, we are able to offer a response to them all.
We learn to integrate the reality of the outer world with the experience of our inner world, choosing (or not) to stand up for our boundaries, to own our frustrations, to take responsibility for fulfilling our desires, and, finally, to live with our holes and what still lacks.
It’s not an easy journey. Not a comfortable one. Admitting ourselves as incomplete and taking ownership of our holes without assigning anyone but ourselves to take care of them is a tough gig. It’s often a FML moment.
This year, and not for the first time in my life, I felt such frustration, an ache, a lack. It was painful and informative. I plunged inside and recognised (and I still am) my needs and desires, owning it without judgement - but with love and care.
It was not a straightforward path. I definitely walked in circles for a while, I often have forgotten the route; and I understand whenever I still do. It’s a journey, but today (TODAY) I can offer myself the love and care I was be able to offer to the ones I’ve loved the most ❤️ There is plenty of it and it feels like rainbows and unicorns in the sky, it feels like peace 🌈🦄☁️💛
