I feel called to discuss this considering I have been on a healing journey and wish to share my findings. Maybe you are feeling the same! There’s a part of the healing journey no one really talks about … ‘the loneliness.’ Even when you’re surrounded by people or deeply connected to the world around you, the path of inner-healing and spiritual growth often feels deeply personal and at times, isolating.

It is not about the SNAKE but the POISON
“Imagine being bitten by a snake and instead of focusing on healing and recovering from the poison, you are consumed with finding the snake to explain why it hurt you and to prove that you didn’t deserve it. This isn’t about the snake 🐍” Posted by Rob Butler – source unknown
Inspired by this quote I would like to share some thoughts.
I get it. I know what it feels like when you have been treated like crap, to put it mildly. It’s unfathomable, unexplainable, inexcusable, and unforgivable. The lengths these people had gone to destroy you is something you cannot Continue reading
Have you learned the lesson?
Since we were born, we were conditioned to believe that not everything we want we will get. Just because you want it now, doesn’t mean it will happen now. Just because you planned it this way, it will end up working out that way. We learned through life that we must wait. We learned to be patient. We learned that some things are out of our control. We learned that we must live in acceptance and gratitude. With time and experience, we learn all these lessons and much more. Some of us though, may never learn. Continue reading
Learning to ask for help
I am an individual who had a hard time asking for help and receiving in general. It’s been a lifelong challenge and mission to improve. I struggled for most of my adult life asking anyone for help unless it was a dire need. I was adamant on being self-sufficient and totally independent even if I had to suffer. I couldn’t see past my need to take care of myself and to never need anyone or depend on anyone. There are reasons for this Continue reading
Decision Time
Every day we face making decisions, some are insignificant, some serious while others; detrimental. Indeed, there is a wide spectrum of decisions that we ultimately make throughout our lives. Each one has the potential to change the course of our lives. While some, we give too much importance to unnecessarily. In this life, we learn ever so patiently when to take things seriously and when to lighten up. Continue reading
Does it get easier?
It’s been a while since I heard your voice or saw your face. I guess I’ve been distracted with life and all it’s craziness. I thought I was getting stronger and able to hold my emotions together. Not until I accidentally came across a recording you addressed to me one day. As soon as I heard you call my name, I burst into tears. Continue reading
The wait is over
So you plan for something and it seems like there is lots of time until the moment you have waited for. There is anticipation, anxiety and some expectation. But nothing happens the way you imagine it. Events unfold in ways you never thought it could. You wait and you wait and sometimes you think there is still lots of time to do this and say that. Little did you know, time is passing while you are not paying attention. It’s actually faster than you thought. The moment comes and the moment goes. You only realize it after it had passed. And the wait is finally over. Continue reading
Not Ready to Listen
What can you really do when the person you are talking to is not ready to listen. How frustrating this can be. You explain and you simplify and you express yourself in different ways and you pour your heart out, with no result. It’s like you are talking to a wall. Hell, by now the wall would have talked after all this effort. So why is this happening? Continue reading
Stay Or Walk Away
Some questions we ask; there is no easy answer to. Sometimes it’s the answer we wish we didn’t know. The answers we find were in the question from the start. One thing for sure, you must seek what you are looking for. Whether the answer is good or not for you. And so Shakespeare asked one of the biggest questions of all time: “to be or not to be”. A question with many possible answers yet I know none. And today I ask a much simpler question: “Stay or walk away”. Continue reading
Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day is a day when all mothers are being celebrated, appreciated and recognized. It’s a day where you can express your feelings of love and gratitude for who she is and the difference she made in your life. It is important to honour those women in your life that you feel a maternal bond with, as well as Continue reading
Long Distance Relationship? You Crazy?
That’s pretty much the reaction you will get from the people close to you, whether it be family members or close friends, whether it be male or female. And your response to that will most likely be: “don’t worry, I know what I am doing.” Then time passes and you get to understand that one: you didn’t really know what you were getting yourself into, and two: Continue reading
Life is so short
Once again I am confronted by the reality that ‘Life is so short’. Yes, it is. Life is short when it gets taken away without you being prepared. Then again, how can you ever be prepared for something like that. Every minute that passes does not come back – ever. So it would be wise for us to watch what we say and what we do because you can never take it back. Sadly, we live as if we can have many do-overs, little do we know that before we know it; we are running out of life. Continue reading
What am I searching for?
I wake up once again by some lady’s voice yelling and laughing, just a little before dawn and once again I can’t fall back to sleep. As I listen to unfamiliar sounds of the night. From cock-crow to insects drone to birds chirping followed by a little of residential traffic with occasional motorbike passing. I hear all this and I wonder, why did I have to wake up now. I wanted to sleep some more. My alarm still had couple of hours and I need to sleep well for the day I planned ahead. But what can I say, the more I struggle to go back to sleep, the more I awaken. So I allowed some more crazy thoughts to take over my mind and here I am writing them. Continue reading
What’s the rush??
We live day by day in constant hurry. We are usually late to do something or go somewhere. We are usually stuck in traffic whether you are driving or being a passenger. Everyone is on the road. Everyone needs to be somewhere – NOW!! We are constantly rushing, we are constantly doing things quickly. Sometimes we do not even enjoy Continue reading

At several points in our lives, we experience a change in ourselves, a turning point we call it. These turning points represent the major stages of our lives. The ones which you can normally pin point down to a particular conversation you had with someone and the light bulb turns on .. Ding! Continue reading
