A year ago I had just moved continents. I bought an old VW van. I started to explore with a dream of finding a place to call home and a partner to share it with.
If I could tell this version of myself what I know today, I would tell her:
Home is within. Seeking it outside yourself will often lead to confusion, and at times, displacement and grief.
Tend to your temple, nurture peace, protect your nervous system. This will bring you home in ways that can never be lost.
Staying true to yourself and trusting your instincts above all is greater than any love another can give you— it’s the most sustainable form of love, and it lasts a lifetime: self-love.
Actions > words, always. When people show you who they are, believe them.
The way people treat you is a reflection of their relationship to themselves, not of your worth.
Never forget you are worthy of everything you dream. And even if it’s not on the timeline you imagined, you can best attract it by choosing yourself: your health, your inspiration, what expands and energizes you.
Your open heart is precious and deserves your discretion with what you let into it. Boundaries facilitate healthy giving and receiving.
When you realize you’ve taken a wrong path, the sooner you change direction, the less time it will take to get back on track. Some storms are not worth weathering for the sake of potential.
You can always start again. Everything is gift when it is received as an opportunity for growth.
