Pep Talk

Sometimes I lay in bed for days and days and days…exhausted, frozen, unable to make a decision and too untrusting of humans to reach for support. Tired from filling my water, rationing my food, emptying tanks, surviving on my own, physically and mentally, I’ve learned to look to the Earth for wisdom and answers…for patterns, and metaphors, and pep talks…to eventually get back up, tap into fight mode, and keep going.

Orphans and lone wolves 💕 - I share my pep talk with you:

You are holding back tidal waves of trauma…not just your own…but the trauma of your ancestors…the trauma of your parents…the trauma carried through your genetics…the nurture…and the nature…the trauma of society…even the hardwiring of your human biology…and most importantly, the trauma of the little kid inside you. Let yourself rest. Rest. Rest up for the fight ahead. The battles of the generations behind you reflects the battles of generations you’re preventing. You’re doing incredibly hard work.

Though you are an ocean of trauma…you are also a sky of resilience.

You were raised by the resilience of the sun, the power of the moon over the tides, and you’re built by the strength of a tiny living cell that evolved to adapt and flourish all over this earth into the wildest and most magnificent shapes and forms…each a vital role on this planet. You are not alone. You are important. You are part of evolution and the revolution. You are part of Mother Nature. And she knows what she’s doing. Tap into that tiny spark inside you, guiding you when you gather the courage to let go of all their control over you…it’s the force of the universe fighting for your life and for the generations ahead. 💥
