Today’s lesson focuses on the only way to heal is by yourself. No one can really help you but they can be witness to your own “human experience”. If we can start to understand this, the sooner we will heal. I am to think about who I depend on and who depends on me. Have these relationships grown and stuck around? How would you like your relationships to be and how would you like yourself to be?
I depend on myself. This I learned when I went through my major relationship break up. There was no one that could get me through those feelings, the independence I had to take on and learning path I struggled through. I knew that there was no one to pick me back up but myself. It was a hard reality realising this – the dependency of a partner was gone and I had to get one with it. I had to learn how to live on my own, make decisions on my own and push comfort zones embracing a new city that I had moved to. I can definitely say it was a good challenge and although I didn’t know what I was doing, I’m grateful for it. Ever since then, I have realised that the best person to help you is yourself. Not that I always close myself off to assistance, but I definitely know I’m the person who knows what how to make me happy again. No one else can do this for me.
I am a good listener. I feel like I am depended on heavily. I think there is a natural attraction to me, where by people think they can get good advice. Some of these relationships have stuck and some have naturally dropped off over time. I think not all relationships need to stick around for all of time. I think some people come about to hold a purpose for that time and sometimes you outgrow each other. I don’t want to go about listing them all because I feel like it’d be a novel. Some relationships last, some just don’t, and that’s okay.
I think I know what I want out of my relationships. I know I want the same respect that I deal out. I know I don’t want to be surrounded by toxic people because they can be draining. I know I am living the best life I possibly can be and want others to do the same. I know that relationships hold different value and I wouldn’t change the relationships I currently have. If anything, as I grow to be more understanding and caring on a larger scale, I’d like to see people have more empathy towards others, and the Earth. I know this is a massive ask and people aren’t aware, and/or don’t want to know how this Earth is crying out for help, but we really need to come together as a conscious collective to heal the world. I mean, I dream big and hope one day, that all the people I encounter has the same mindset as myself.
