Welcome to a New Year, a new chapter! Does everything continue like before or do you feel the change tingling on your skin? I certainly do and I think this might inspire you too, so meet the new me! She is strong and refuses to be played with.
2021 was challenging, I hit the ground in every aspect of my life and learned a lot about my limits. But as well about my abilities: Hard lessons taught me that I am capable of much more than I thought, forced me to grow, to open my mind, and increase my creativity.
I went through a rigorous cleansing of my inner garden: Destroyed beliefs that were rooted there that I no longer share, got rid of a lot of toxic things in and around me, put up my walls tighter against harming behavior, and learned to trust myself and my net more than ever. I discovered that I do have a family. People I can trust and who would go to Mars for me just like I would for them. Without sharing blood, but out of the pure free will.
Most of all, I came to peace with my independence. I realized that I don’t need saving because I am in charge and capable of finding solutions for every problem that appears on the horizon. I learned to embrace that I am not a conventional woman and that this is ok – no: an exciting gift. Just because some people would call me insulting names doesn’t mean that I am wrong. I don’t live that arranged life of theirs, but I do live mine and I do that to the hilt. It’s a life bursting with impressions, inspirations, and experience. No same-same day after day!
There is insecurity, but as well so much laughter, fun, excitement, tears, drama, closeness, and most of all: Love. I don’t know if things will stay what they are, but who does? And I decided that I am not a pinball. 2022 will be the year of no games, we play with creativity here, but not with feelings, honesty, and our souls! I might look like a doll, but if you want to be a part of my universe, you have to be respectful, loving, and caring. Everything else is not welcome here anymore. So let’s start!
