A wonderful friend shared this incredible video through social media. I was so moved that I had to place it here, within the space where my thoughts and feelings lead my personal expedition.
Tears were streaming down my face as I watched and listened. She speaks thoughts that seem to be whispered from within my own soul:
"Wouldn't it be ashame for our lives to be over and have only lived a piece of who we are?"
"For many of those years I tried to be perfect...not to express my humanity, but to control my humanity."
"...it looked like I was so successful. Until one day I realized, in the silence, this just isn't working for me. I'm not happy. This isn't meaningful anymore. It's more about rules and regulations. My soul is gonna shrink here. If I stay with this, I'm gonna be an empty shell with nothing inside..."
"I knew that if I tried to deny it, I wouldn't find out who I was...utter fright, but not leaving it and staying with it...until there was this enormous peacefulness that came over me. Nothing had changed, I didn't know what I was gonna do, but I knew I'd be okay...it's like singing a lullaby to your soul..."
"I'd stopped trying to MAKE myself into something...I opened to my feelings and let them be..."
"...every time I broke the barrier, I grew in wonder at how much more lay before me."
"No matter how much we've discovered, there's always more."
