If you don’t know who the fuck you are neither will the people you meet or hang out with and it will all feel messy.

It’s so interesting to me whenever I talk with someone who is living the kind of life that I love, or is experiencing what I am (i.e. talking to another widow about grief) I feel so aligned, it feels so good to be validated in how I feel, what lights me up, it reminds me to really honour how I feel, what I’m going through, the way I choose to live my life. The thing is there are MANY people out there who will NEVER understand what it is like to be a widow with young kids, and to even experience this level of debilitating grief, there are MANY people out there who will NEVER understand eating a wholefoods, plantbased diet, not drinking alcohol or partying and getting fucked up, doing mindset work, mindfulness practices, working on my nervous system, going to bed early, not using chemical filled toxic products in my home – but this shit feels so deeply aligned to me. It fits with my values, it works for me, I enjoy feeling empowered, light, high vibration, it is SO empowering to know I am being my authentic self in ALL areas of my life and that is amplified when I hang out with other like-minded people, then when I hang out with people who are nice but don’t value or live a lifestyle remotely like mine, I start to feel disconnected from myself, heavy, low energy, low vibe, then my brain starts to question what I do and how I think and act and live. I wanted to share this because I KNOW if I experience this – you will too! The problem is many of you will get so caught up in that, that you’ll actually change who you are around certain people, or put up with behaviour you don’t like, or do things you don’t actually enjoy and feel shitty after etc So, this is a reminder for you and for me to just focus on spending time with the ones that make you feel so deeply seen and heard and SAFE to be YOU. Even if for now, its only ONE person, if you keep being YOU, this will slowly increase. If you don’t know who the fuck you are neither will the people you meet or hang out with and it will all feel messy.
