Well, when I started my blog, I knew I was on a healing journey. A healing journey, as in present tense, as in, it’s always some shit happening that we will have to heal from. My life is no different from everyone else’s. I have ups and downs. I have wins and losses. None of us truly have it figured out, we’re all just winging it. I’m just honest about it.

Last year was truly one of the best years of my life. The biggest lesson I learned is the difference between attachment and connection. I learned that being attached to people is dangerous. Think about it if I take a piece of tape and I attach it to the wall it will have a great bond. However, if I try to take it away, I’m going to damage the wall or the tape. However, it’s not that way when things are connected. when magnets connect, they have a strong bond that draws and pulls them together, and if you separate them, they still both remain intact.

I’m grateful for the experiences that I had prior to last year because it’s made me only be willing to connect with those that contribute to my wellness. I no longer desire the attachment part at all. Mainly because it’s damaging. Being attached to people will allow them to hurt you just so you can stay Attached. Standing alone isn’t a possibility because we allow ourselves to become dependent or even codependent on others. It’s not healthy.

I want to be with those that are drawn to me. Drawn to me by a force that’s beyond us both. Interdependence. I want my tribe, and only my tribe with me. And just like with real magnets, true connection, draws more connection. I know that if I continue to move connected to the right things, I will achieve every goal! I will make every dream come true! My life will continue to be my best life as long as I stay connected to the right ones and only connected, attachment is not an option. If I need to pull away I still need all of me.

I only want connection.

My healing journey will never end because life will continue to throw curveballs that hurt, but wholeness Will contribute to my wellness. I will continue to share this healing journey because I hope it helps.
