This deep longing to be more is pervasive. From my perspective it is a kind of soul sickness. We’re too often cut off from ourselves chasing things that don’t matter, mistaking success for true purpose.

Our purpose is to be ourselves, whatever that looks like. Sobriety taugt me that my curse is my blessing and it’s my gift to use for good. I had to stop running from my sensitivity and learn to manage it.

I see energy. I talk to dead people. I know things about people they can’t see until I say and then they feel their truth.

What i know for sure is that we are simply here to grow spiritually in these bodies, interacting with others. It can be done quietly, with no witnesses, or in the spotlight. Both are equally important because if we get it, if we grow, we’re bringing light into the world.

Thanks for your beautiful piece. You made me cry and feel connected for a few minutes to a kindred soul.
