There is brightness at the end of the tunnel.



This whole thing started as a joke, as I mention in earlier blogs, but it turned into a journey of its own. This journey to find love has taught me so much about people, love, connections, and myself. On this path, I've hurt people and have been hurt. It began to close myself off. It make me think love was something only found in fairy tales that Disney had made up. From this, I began to become afraid to show my true feeling and be honest with who I am and what I wanted. I've done unmoral things in attempts to feel things, some kind of connection or emotion from another. From that, karma has found me. I've tired to be open and give myself but instead I had just shown disrespect to myself and the vehicle in which my spirit residents in. From all this hurt and pain, I lost my true self. I become one of them. The people who are dark, closed off, and self absorbed. I felt that love was just a game, like cat and mouse, and it needed to be chased. So I chased, chased and chased, pushing love so far away that all I got was the sugar coat vision of fake love or envy. It was all about desire and no real connection. I lost my self worth and identity.

Then I found something that gave me back a piece of me. My career turned on a little light inside, because as a massage therapist all you do is give light and love. However, I didn't know how to give it to myself or recognized when the real light was being given to me unconditional. I kept searching and doing my own personal work. I learned to listen to the synchronicity of life and go with the flow as much as possible. Then I began making decisions that would guide me to actually seeing the light and feeling it inside of me. I needed more wood to build my fire inside. A fire doesn't keep going unless it is feed. And fear isn't the proper fuel to make a roaring fire. Love is the proper fuel. Sometimes we need a wake up call to make us realize what state we've put ourselves in. Sometimes that wake up call can have repercussions, ones you may have to deal with for the rest of your life.

Once my alarm went off and my ego was set aside to a degree, and La Playa was introduced to my journey. There I learned that love and positivity are truly the only way. I've come to be aware that I'm not boy crazy as much as I thought I was, but that I'm actually particular with the people I interact with. I'm actually crazy about beauty. By beauty I mean honesty and light. Some times beauty can play tricks on you, because beauty comes in a physical form. The beauty I'm describing here residents inside and shines through your physical being. Along with this I was shown to love me, with all my darkness and light. To learn to not try to change either, but to just be true to both and acknowledge them. To show your beauty you have to let it shine. Don't hide it from the world. No one can take it from you, unless you let them. I never needed some handsome guy to make me feel this way. It was there all along, just didn't know how to unlock the cage I put myself in. Then something clicked, I don't know how or when. It just did. Maybe it was the wake call that started it all or maybe La Playa was the prefect retreat. Once you love yourself truly, you want nothing more then to give that love to others, especially people who are in the same place as you. Someone who can give and receive in the same way as yourself. Someone where there is just this connection you cant explain. I think you know it when you see it. Its not that you see more that you feel it. I've been lead to my true journey and real desire. I wont be looking back. Here's to truth, loving yourself and others.
Cheers
xoxo
