DREAMS

Passions and dreams. Daydream images. At least they were. Now they’re real. Why now? I’ve decided. My dreams have been there forever, I know them well, I always have, but have never given them life. Those intangible dreams will be no longer.

My time’s now, I sense that deeply. As I try to determine what it is about now that means it’s right, it’s clear that it’s because my life has been turned on its head. Colours have altered, shapes have morphed, unrecognisable, and that’s a good thing. There’s more fluidity, I’m embracing both the dramatic change and the subtle shifts. Change is not going to ‘happen’ to me, I am going to respond and adjust to what intuitive directions I‘d like to go.

With strong intuition accompanying me through life, I’ve allowed instinct to dim, chosen to neglect it, turning away and taking small glances back. Its difficult to ignore, volume increases, until it’s deafening. That was my experience anyway. Living towards your dreams is listening, hearing that deep part of your soul that speaks so calmly but surely. It knows the way.

Glancing back, there were vivid signs, which I questioned and cast off as coincidence. In hindsight they were huge rainbow flags that I had lost my way, and the signs showed me clearly why.

I’m stronger, happier and more confident than I have been for a very long time, creating the perfect opportunity to pursue my dreams with the imagination I had as a little girl, when everything felt possible. My dreams are centred around my craving to create, a whole collection of genres, and I want to explore all of them without limitation.

Alongside creativity is exploration. Travel. My dreams include extensive journeying to far flung places to fuel imagination, to broaden the story. Purpose. There has to be purpose. Contribution. What can I add while away and what can that translate to once home?

So there it is, pretty simple, creating, travelling, contributing. My dreams x

 

JUDGEMENT

Living life authentically leads to personal freedom. I believe that living a free life is truly listening to your inner soul and responding.

What has personally crippled me is judgement. Judgement, if I choose to listen, crushes my soul. But living a life where judgement has always been an underlying and even an overarching constant is hard to ignore. I choose not to listen anymore.

I am saying no more to judgement. Judgement has inhibited my decisions, cast self doubt, killed my confidence, dimmed my creativity and left me deeply sad so many times. I identify it, and I’m going to change some lifetime relationships and enforce some boundaries. I can’t be truly me with that judgement following me.

I want to live life with my priorities sorted. Life’s completely about being a good person, about treasuring those special people in life and holding them close. It’s also about letting go, letting go of toxic energy and unhealthy minded people, just breathing out and quietly letting them go, not with hate, not with anything, just saying goodbye. Not looking back, perhaps glancing, but only momentarily to reflect, then looking forward again where the real energy is.

I believe in real love, not absent-minded lust but true, deep love, soul mate stuff...‘I’ve met you before, I’m so sure of it’. The sort of love that hurts, that leaves you wondering what it’s all been about before. Deep feelings that resonate with your soul. The feeling of meeting someone so perfect for you that you can’t believe you have waited this long, where have they been all your life? The sort of person that is so intrinsically beautiful that you can’t help but love them and want them to be all they can be without wanting to change a thing about them. True love.

Life is for living, I have so many passions and dreams that can’t wait any longer. Yeah sure many of them have always been there and I’ve moved in the direction of them at times to varying degrees, but not for so many years have I actually felt that huge desire as I do. I’m not waiting anymore and that’s why boundaries are being set and I’m saying a firm NO to judgement.
