Reclaiming your power & Rebuilding your trust of self

I’ve spent too many years of my life giving my power away. To people whose own insecurities couldn’t bare to stomach my light, to lovers with savior complexes who needed me to be wounded to love or vice versa abandoning myself to build up others only for them to walk away and be better for someone else.
I’ve had to humble myself and acknowledge that I’ve attracted emotionally or physically unavailable people that mirrored my own avoidance and unavailability to self.
Well fuck that.
I’m not doing that anymore. My power is my own and I’m going to get and be as big and bright as possible. I want to be blinding.

Power is so underrated. My guess is because it’s been so bastardized in culture in its use as a negative (power hungry, power went to her head etc) But power is sooo necessary and also so goated! It’s limited and infinite. Power over self is all I have and giving it away whether situationally, energetically, or internally makes me feel empty, insecure, and unplanted. something fun to practice in conversation is really delaying response time while keeping eye contact

nick3 truly! And personal power also involves a level of self-awareness and the ability to let go and surrender to all that which we can’t control. so ironically trying to control situations that are simply uncontrollable is a way of giving away your energy and power that could be kept and put into something that ultimately is for you.

went to a cinema club - this is what it's all about. community is real! even in the city! it's not all over. i watched natural enemies and boxing helena with my friend and ally charlie. the first was awesome, the second was less so - but arguably more fun. sherilyn fenn is not a star, she is something else entirely.

Taking yourself out on dates

Every weekend I’ve made it a ritual to get breakfast at the same place by myself and journal. I’m pushing 30 and almost all of my friends my age are in loving long-term relationships. Sometimes I’m resentful and sometimes I remember I’m on my own journey of self healing that has been proven by the universe time and time again (however painfully) that I cannot bring someone on this journey with me.
So I go to breakfast alone, I go to my local haunt alone, order a cider and read in silence. Sometimes I talk to people that approach me and other times I’m simply an observer. Sometimes it feels like a muscle I need to train to make the effort to do these things for myself and other times I love the feeling of being in my own world amongst strangers in theirs.
But I keep going and I keep exploring and I keep holding space and dreaming and hoping and yearning. And sometimes it’s painful and sometimes its exactly where I need to be.
