Difficult Last Few Years? I'm Zakia, Nice to Meet You.
Hey AFF- it's been an honor to meet some of you in my posts so far. Tonight on Skool, I've been talking about how I've met SO many people on the platform that have been through extraordinary circumstances in the last few years. SO MANY PEOPLE are coming out of a difficult time. I know life isn't easy, from my own upbringing, and I know many of you can relate- it's also the reason the mind takes on a form of coping- in our case ADHD. In the last 4 years, I experienced what some refer to as Death/Rebirth- literally the completely falling away of who/how you used to be/your entire operating principle. I grew up in a severely traumatic relationship with my mother- I used to use the word people pleaser but have since stopped because it could not even describe the severe abandonment/distortion of my own truth. The last 4 years, I fought tooth and nail to win my Self back- and have now settled into the version of myself that I dreamed of being for decades. I would only have glimpses of her- then and now- but she remained inside hidden until these last years. I can't tell you the brutal work I did to "become"- which really just meant, leaving everything I knew- not just on the outside, but on the inside- every thought, every belief. Since then I've manifested becoming Mayor of the New York Skool community (even before I really joined Skool). And i've met thousands of wonderful people, just like you. If there's anything I could share, it would be that there IS a light at the end of every tunnel. Sometimes it takes Years to find it. And sometimes, our only job is to keep going. If you've had a difficult last few years, or are still in difficulty, we are all with you. The world is with you. All of the good in the Universe is with you. You will rise. It is just a matter of time. And you must do your time- because, you don't know who you're supposed to become- or who life is molding you to be- that's a good thing maybe- maybe you'd be too scared to continue. Maybe there's a relief in not knowing.
