Hey everyone… I’ve been not so great and really wanted to stay away from here but I think that ultimately made things worse… I have not been in a good headspace and I am back at day 1…. I didn’t know how much this community meant to me and when I deactivated my account I was mad, hurt and wanted to shut everything and everyone out… I hate that I do that and I want to still keep my place here with you all if you would allow me 🖤 ---

Here for you! You were missed, people were asking. Reach out when you’re struggling and find a lesson in this experience. There is most certainly one or several lessons there. ![image](https://talkingsoberfiles.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/4X/3/c/b/3cbaf1c12f5ee5eeab9df18280f42726acfab32f.gif) ---

Being human is like being a seed. We all know that a seed makes a tree (or other plant). But in that process of growth the seed is completely destroyed. You are growing. You are in the process of shedding your seed form, letting it go, letting it pass, so you can become the mature, fruitful, flowering plant you are born to be. Growing from seed to tree is painful and it is scary (and it takes effort and time and faith - not of the religious type; I mean faith that there is a path, there is a future, there is a pattern and a destination to this growth). Growing is hard, in every way. The fact you’re tearing up shows me how close you are, to your next phase. It is a sign of how deeply committed you are, of how much you want this, of how scared you are but also of how determined you are. You are finding your resolve, deep down, and you will succeed in this next step forward. You are not alone. You are never alone. You carry in your bones and your blood and your brain, all the power and the wisdom of the women, the people, the ancestors who helped bring you into the world today. You have thousands of years of this strength flowing in you, every day. I know you don’t feel it. But it is there, always. You will make it. I have never met someone with your courage and commitment, who doesn’t make it. ---
