This spoke to me for it embodies a lot of who I am. Growing up was not easy. I can admit to that now. I never fit in well. I was never the popular one. There were times I was totally ignored by friends, picked on, hair pulled, called names and more. Never breathed a word of this to my family. I was shy and felt much more secure hanging out with the elderly, running their errands, doing chores they gave me to do and just sitting listening to their stories. It was these beautiful souls who told me I was wise beyond my years.
As I grew older, I became a bit more reclusive often feeling pangs of loneliness which still to this day lingers. I have simply learned to embrace it and discovered how nature rejuvenates me and allows me to let go and embrace me.
Later on, crowds and gatherings made me anxious. Conversations were shallow. Boasting made me cringe. Drinking too much and smoking gave me a sick feeling in my stomach even though I never engaged much. Any untruthfulness would signal an alarm within me that made me angry. I learned quickly what empathy truly was. It helped me in my relationship to myself and to others.
I always had a deep calling to healing work and a connection to unseen energies and to the spirit world. In my later years, I soaked up as much information as I could on these topics in order to become more comfortable with my gifts. It helped me in understanding who I am and my desire to help others. I grew a lot spiritually and emotionally. I realized that my heart is vulnerable yet has a desire to touch others through the essence of their hearts, a connection that opens the door to change, healing, growth, newness and more. I stepped out of my comfort zone to be a nurse, a spiritual healer and an intuitive. It was not going to go away so I just heeded that call.
Today, I have no desire to be popular but to be embraced in my own wholeness, despite my choices, my vulnerabilities, my mistakes. Life is a teacher and I must respond if I am to continue growing, shining my light and keeping my heart open. I feel blessed and humbled by all those individuals who have crossed my path in any capacity. I feel more secure in who I am as an old soul.
Perhaps some of you can identify with this post or what I have written. Let’s just support each other on our journeys, leaving ego behind and just shining our light without competition or fears of not being accepted for who we are. It’s time to embrace the “me” within each of us.
Sending you love and a big hug!
