I wanted to belong to the old places of this world but alas I have always been the new girl.
I know how I want to live and what I am here to do. I enjoy living my lifestyle, my crafted routine, in new places.
I’m not interested in walking around as a tourist and talking about other people. I want to sleep, write, produce music, practice yoga, workout, meditate and be in still silent moments of solitude surrounded by beauty with friends nearby.
I enjoy the space to myself to explore within. I enjoy the silence in which I rest. I retreat into my music and explore my experiences through words with handwritten ink.
When I am gifted this time and this way of passing through it, I feel fully grounded and fulfilled and my body flows energy more playfully and socially as a result. Forcing the play or social interactions before my silent time is harsh on my nervous system and I shut down quickly to protect my inner world from invasion of outer energies.
I have a delicate garden within and I build a fortress every morning before I open my gates to the wider world which thoughtlessly tramples my flowers while screaming in my ear that I ‘ought to be more jovial’’. My joy runs deep from the garden well and I share it happily with all when I have had the garden to myself for just a moment, the first moments of each sacred day.
