Pillars (true love lets us find our feet)

It was not your fault, you are not to blame.
For with another open hearted person they would have done just the same.

You believed in good, and please always do.
There is nothing wrong in loving something we believe to be true.

But know this, it is inside of you- that love they told you were missing, they painted void and blue.
You are not lacking- only finding your strength,
Never doubt your own pillars my friend.

Shame on those who sweep us off our feet, take us for a dance as they question our knees.
There should be no shame in getting in and out of a dance, a rhythm we were shaken to as we tried to stand.

True love lets us take all the time we need,
it does not leave us feeling guilty for not jumping off our feet.
Neither does it pressure,
it gives us space to find within us what we need.

True love lets us breathe.

-to my friend, a gardener

An intuitive journey back to my solo travels

For the past few years I have had a fallback in writing. A lack of inspiration and a feeling that I had already written about "it all", or the things I really wanted to say at least. Perhaps it is the SSRI medication that for the past 4 years have been numbing (in a good way) my anxiety- but also keeping my head away from mind loops, or perhaps I just got to the end of it- let out all the biggest of Roars. But, whatever it is that has made me write less, I will make sure to not stop completely. I do enjoy this too after all, it is not only an outlet for something anxious, it was always supposed to be more than that. Something to lift spirits, bright up days, encourage others to live (or continue too) live their best and most for-filling lives. So, I decided to go through my solo travels, one by one. Because what might not have been obvious through these text through the years (that is- mainly from the summer of 2016 forwards), is that I went on adventures, on my own (mostly)...

Are you not lonely ? (and my stay in a small bothy at the Isle of Canna)

Loneliness for me is a common feeling while travelling solo, don't think (when you are following my adventures on social media) that I am immune to it. I like the solitude at times, and it builds a stronger relationship with myself, to do this on my own that is, but I often wish I had found my companion. I keep turning every rock, stair into wells to see a reflection next to me, stay open minded and socialise at home. I wander to all corners of the world, I am on all the apps- talk to locals. I am not shy. But so far he has not been found. I have (in moments of hilarious lighthearted desperation) even tried to go back in time Outlander style, if he is not in 2024, maybe in 1878. Perhaps a man from the Bridgerton era. Times are tough, and there are not plenty of available healthy mature fish in the sea, perhaps an old tire, but fish- well most of them have been caught by now, or they were let back into the sea for a reason. The trash never even made it to shore, people do not want ...

Shine on bright (about mistakes, self-doubt, kindness and curiosity)

Live with all your heart, and never feel ashamed for trying every mistake, has a silver lining be grateful for all that you may learn Life is too short to doubt every move, every turn Listen, and never be ashamed of being true Stay curious, humble, and always be you respect yourself and those around you, - thank them for their honesty too Life is meant for living, so never dim your light Pause in your steps, breathe and shine on bright.
