Experiencing love and safety transformed personal well-being and self-understanding. The loss of that love through tragedy led to deep reflection on emotional needs and nurturing environments. Past life experiences resemble gardens, with personal growth dependent on care received. Realization occurred that feeling broken was a misunderstanding; instead, the need for presence and emotional nourishment was crucial. Understanding specific needs for thriving is vital, similar to how different plants require distinct care to flourish. Without prior knowledge of these needs, it's challenging to identify their absence.
For most of my life, something in me felt off-misaligned, too much, not enough. I moved through the world trying to fix a thing I couldn't name.
Losing him to young-onset colorectal cancer was like watching that sunlight disappear. With his last breath, the safety I had finally found evaporated.
I was never defective. I am a being with specific needs for thriving-just the right light, language, and nourishment required for blooming.
Presence. Attunement. Emotional safety. These aren't things you can name as missing when you've never known them.
