They've Been Here All Along

At this moment, I am mulling over all the ramifications of centuries of misogyny women have endured and how it affects me directly. A sensation of finally having friends and people who welcome me in, grieve with me, and encourage me washes over me, but also brings with it sadness at how much time I lost to abuse. As my mind grows ethereal, I wonder why I couldn't have had the friendship of these beautiful people earlier in life.

I keep seeing quotes about

how humans have forgotten that we are part of nature and not separate from it. A picture begins to form in my mind of the interconnection of all living beings and how we are all part of each other and shine our energy around us. A sweet fragrance fills the air with the realization that though these beautiful souls were not in direct contact with me through the first part of life, they were, nonetheless, walking life beside me as kindred spirits. We have journeyed through life and found our destiny together at the right time.

This period without a regular job has been teaching me a great deal. For the first time in my life, I am really enjoying life. Anxiety is slowly decreasing, and I am finding a whole new way of living. I am finding new people that I feel safe with because I am looking in the right places now. It gives me such a feeling of contentment to know these lovely people have been with me in spirit all along.
