If you can take it from a woman who learned this the hard way 2 times now….treading silently along the old haunt of my early path, I can feel you there, I can hear your confusion.

I know you want to run away. Ive been there. Looking for what you’re also looking for. Security. Unconditional love. Home. Safety. Adventure. Fullness. While your instincts are likely right about him and where you’re currently headed, it’s not him you want to run away from. It’s you. It doesn’t matter who you are with, or what life you are living, when you cannot love yourself. When you can’t forgive yourself. No matter where you go, there you are. No matter who you love, you are the one person getting in the way of that embrace.

Realise you have immense value. We all are born with this this incredible potential. More than was instilled in you. Few recognise this. Enough value to take any steps necessary to save yourself. Go and find yourself. Find that unconditional love, that security, safety, your adventures, reap the fullness of the experiences. Be your own home. Come back stronger, braver, with a whole heart. And only then will you know with absolute clarity if the one you’re with is the one you love to be with. The one you’ve been waiting for.

My sense for you is the same as for me — that when we return, all the things we were looking for in others will no longer hold true. The ability to see past all that, to finally be able to see the real person we have chosen to be with is almost worth the journey alone.

I treasure and love Joseph more than I ever knew I could ever feel for another person. But I look forward to the day when I can see past my needs, my insecurities, the brokenness of my spirit and truly see him as he is. His spirit and soul unblurred. Where he too can see me standing before him, without any shame or fear of what he sees in me, because I fiercely love and accept me.

The divine in me recognizes the divine in you. We are the same.

Namaste.
