The way I walk through the world now
While I was editing some takes of my fruit salad, the caption of this photo was coming continually to my mind. Mixing some strawberries, kiwi fruits, melon, apple and nectarines with a splash of lemon juice might seem something ordinary, and it really is, but somehow is also the most perfect or typical example of all the things that I have changed in my life along the latest years
I´m not going to explain the whys and hows of these changes, or the before and after (I´ve been talking about all this in a very little-systematic way along 275 posts), but I will say what this photo makes me feel comparing to what I used to feel, and maybe, you will understand what are the causes that made a simple bowl of cut fruits turned into something unique
I feel that now I am
responsible for my life, not delegating to others
aware of my needs, not self-destructive
free, no longer tied down by old conditionings
careful with myself, not neglectful
focused on what really matters, not concerned by things of little value or importance
strong and secure, not surrounded by fear and anxiety
allied with my own vision and my purpose, not unable to find my way
true to my memories, not lost on my story
grateful, not trapped on my self-demanding attitudes
vibrant, not dull or invisible
healthy, not tired or insane
relaxed, less obsessive
joyful not resentful or inhibiting my true wishes
tolerant, not so harsh and disapproving
happy with my gifts, not wanting more
right here, right now
...and not wanting to be in any other place |
