Here I am

Here is my true self
Standing before you
Tender and shy
Will you accept it
Or do you reject it
Will something inside me have to shrivel and die
Do you need me to put on a show
False facades have failed me before
I need you to love me whole
I don't want safety and acceptance
That's based on illusion
Only my true self needs love
The kind of love that's from above
Deep intimacy is what I look for
And I can bear to be vulnerable
If that's what you're made of
Please join me, my dear
Come feel with me here.
I can master my fear,
I can take the leap
But will you be there
Or will I be left standing alone in a heap?
It's worth the pain if it means I can love, and be loved again
I'm done with being lonely
The emptiness is too much
I'm ready to accept that my worth is
No reason to be ashamed
No reason to hide
You can't have intimacy without attention
Can't get close when there's always distraction
Can't find comfort without consistency
Can't build connection without any time
Can't be in sync when you're falling behind
Can't find understanding without empathy
Can't sustain passion without play
The opposite of closeness is indifference
So starved for meaning
The mere promise of emotion sets you off
I won't hold back and I won't run in fear
But darling, are you here?
I love from the heart
I can love so big
Does that scare you away
Or finally help you breathe?
I'm not here for games
I'm showing up at my best
Can you handle the rest?

When you get stuck

Sometimes you can get stuck in a relationship: You're in a constant state of trigger (fight/ flight/ freeze) instead of feeling intimately connected You've become two old stories instead of two open hearts You're scared or angry most of the time instead of feeling free and authentic It's heavy and complicated instead of light and playful  There is more effort placed on control and strategy than growth and gratitude You are there because of a commitment, because you feel you “should”, not because you want to be.  What can you do? You basically have 3 options: 1. Stay . Continue the slow, painful process of losing yourself in order to keep the relationship. 2. Let it go . Sacrifice your relationship to save your soul. 3. Change . You both have to be willing and capable of growing together. The goal here is to see if you can get back to love without sacrificing your authentic selves in the process. To do this, you must remove the idea of promises, attachment...

Courage is not the absence of fear

"Everything you've ever wanted is on the other side of fear." -George Addair Wholeheartedly believe this. We have two choices in life: be led by fear, or lead with love and courage, trusting that things will unfold and work out just as they should. Maybe not how you planned, but always for the best. Fears will never disappear. But when you make peace with your fears, possibilities will appear. The next time you feel fear, just take the superhero stance! (And do some yoga to quiet the mind.)

Dream

Would you mind dreaming with me a little while longer Because I'm not finished with you yet You tell me not to remember But I don't want to forget It may not be perfect, nor am I, neither are you But you bring me something I can hold on to It helps me surrender It helps me advance And most of all, you already know, It makes my soul dance.
