What Waking Up to Reality Taught Me🍂🌱💛🦉
Waking up wasn’t something that happened suddenly for me. It was a slow, confusing process that unfolded over the years. After I gave birth 7 years ago, something inside me began to shift, even though I didn’t understand it at first. I struggled with anxiety, with my own thoughts, and with fears that felt bigger than me. I took anxiety medication for some years. At the beginning it helped, giving me a bit of space to breathe, however, over time I realised it also kept me in the same numbed, familiar place where nothing truly changed. Looking back, I can admit that my childhood was really tough. It left marks on me that I carried into adulthood. But it also shaped me into the person I am today: wiser, stronger and empathetic with a genuine heart. Throughout my life I made mistakes, I turned to recreational drugs and alcohol because they helped me avoid looking at myself. They softened the pain and blurred the edges, but they also kept me from healing. I didn’t realise it then, but I was trying to escape the parts of me that needed the most care. My true awakening began when I understood that healing, not numbing was what I needed. Healing became the pathway to releasing the emotional baggage I had been carrying for so long. Slowly, I learned that taking responsibility for my life wasn’t about being flawless, it was about being honest, compassionate, and present with myself. I realised that God was and is within me, that I'm always supported and that real change starts from the inside. I learned to love myself first. That inner love created space to love others more genuinely. Seeking knowledge and understanding helped loosen the grip of my fears, and as the weight lifted, I began to see my dreams more clearly. Waking up taught me that healing is essential. It’s how we free ourselves from the burdens of the past so we can step more fully into who we’re meant to be. I am grateful for all of you, for listening and being connected ❤️
