32 Reflections on turning 32

-


32 things I know for sure:
1.     I am enough.
2.     If I breathe and smile, all is fine. 
3.     Life flows smoothly if I surrender and allow things to unfold.
4.     It is ok to cry and go through darkness as it is through the acknowledgement of those dark periods that we can then fully embrace the light. 
5.     The universe does have my back and I am being guided.
6.     I am strong and I am resilient.
7.     The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz Jr. are key in living our lives with as much peace as we can with the certainty that we are all doing the best we can.
8.     I am patient, more than I thought.
9.     I can do things by myself: I am independent. 
10. I am happy on my own and, even though it’d be nice to have someone to share things with, I don’t need anybody completing me.
11. My family is unconditional and will always be. I love them. 
12. I have unconditional, loving, magical friends whom I love. 
13. I trust that everything happens for a reason.
14. There is a higher power and I do receive signs.
15. Nature is my absolute haven; in nature I flow and find myself.
16. Journaling is a ritual which allows me to process things; it has allowed to  navigate life and learn from it in a deeper way.
17. Life as I knew it changed once Lucio left this dimension; there was a before and after and I was kind of reborn (metaphorically born again.)
18. Becoming vegan was one of the most beautiful, empowering and eye-opening decisions of my life (born again.)
19. I am an introvert who loves connecting with people but who also needs time alone to recharge.
20. The world is a beautiful place.
21. There are loving, kind and life-enhancing people out there who make the world a better place.
22. Laughter is contagious. 
23. Smiling doesn’t cost a thing but can change someone’s day.
24. Kindness has a transforming energy which makes me feel better.
25. Cooking is therapy and I love being an alchemist in the kitchen.
26. I love nourishing my temple with whole foods.
27. I am a complex being made of all my experiences and wouldn’t change a thing.
28. I don’t regret anything, I grew and learnt. 
29. It’s all a matter of perception.
30. We learn as we go, it is ok to 'fail' as 'failure' beautifully teaches us not to surrender in the pursuit of our dreams. 
31. Goals, desires, plans can change and that is ok; nothing is static, it is all dynamic and ever-flowing; everything is energy.
32. I am committed to continue learning and creating a life that will make me happy and provide me with opportunities to stay aligned with my values.

Breathe

-
It all started with the breath; the intake of air that filled our lungs and gave us life; the magical inhale and exhale that allowed us to embrace our existence on this earth. 'Just' air. We left the safety of water and cried because we were ripped from our ever-flowing home but, soon enough, we learnt that there was another element that gave us life and allowed us to be: air, the ethereal vehicle for our waking and being.  We’ve been breathing since the moment we were born and that is the only thing that distinguishes the dead from the living; breathing, being, the beautiful existence on this earth plane. Oftentimes, we take our breath for granted and forget its life-giving force; we forget that if we don’t fully breathe, then we are not truly living. Us, human beings, sometimes forget to wholly, deeply, lovingly breathe and, as a result, we feel constricted by life. The lack of air makes us feel trapped, claustrophobic and, at points, lost. Well, at least that’s how I have f...

Poem: If I Were to Die Young

If I were to die young, I’d be grateful for the whole of my life: The pains, the scars, the blessings in disguise; The ups, the downs and the shades all around. I’d be grateful for the smiles, the hugs and the laughs, The rainbows, the sun and magical dragonflies. If I were to die young, I’d look at the sky, I’d admire the hues of Blue, pink, and yellow one more time; I’d dance, skip and twirl around, Worry about nothing and marvel at this life. If I were to die young, I wouldn’t ask the universe ‘why?’, I’d trust in the perfect timing of this stunning, unique and blessed life; I’d say my goodbyes if allowed to do that And hug you all tight, tighter than tight. If I were to die young, I’d be proud and grateful that I’ve tried, Tried to learn, to grow, to love; Tried to help to make this world A warmer shade of bright. If I were to die young I’d melt into the sky, I’d play with...

Raw Anxiety Poem: My Demons with Myself

-
Image
I am used to sharing my demons with myself,  To not let them trouble anybody else;  I'm used to restraining them from jumping on people around And used to chatting to them at night.  I am used to hiding them behind the ‘ I’m okay ’ Not to ‘inconvenience’ people Or make them run away.  I know it’s not healthy, I know it's not great So for a long time I’ve deliberately worked On letting them see the light of day, No longer hiding them behind the ‘ All is well .’  It  is  hard work to deal with them, To negotiate, to give and take; To dance, to talk, to play with them.  Sometimes they’ll hide themselves For months on end,  I’ll breathe easily and forget our affairs.  Eventually though, They’ll come out and tear my head, They’ll unapologetically jump all around, scream away And state it’s that time again. They’ll never mean to hurt me though  But will always be that way Until I learn ...
