#findingyourplace

You are still learning⠀ that beauty blooms⠀ in the darkest of places,⠀ like the flower whose roots⠀ grab hold of the soil⠀ deep underneath the ground,⠀ yes, you will rise⠀ like the stem,⠀ and open your petals to the sky.⠀ ⠀

Sometimes you fit perfectly, but not in the right place.

Sometimes in life, we find ourselves in situations where we seem to fit perfectly, but for some reason, it just doesn't feel right. It's like trying to force a square peg into a round hole – no matter how well it seems to fit, it's just not the right fit. This can apply to various aspects of life, whether it's in relationships, career choices, or even where we choose to live.

In relationships, it's not uncommon to feel a strong connection with someone and believe that they are the perfect match for you. You may share similar interests, values, and have great chemistry, but for some reason, it just doesn't work out. It could be due to timing, circumstances, or simply not being in the right place mentally or emotionally. This can be a difficult realization to come to terms with, as it can be confusing and disheartening to know that a seemingly perfect fit is not the right fit.

Similarly, in terms of career choices, we may find ourselves in a job where we excel and feel like we are a perfect fit for the role. However, if the company culture, values, or the work itself does not align with our own, it can lead to a feeling of unease and dissatisfaction. Even if we are successful in the position, if it doesn't fulfill us on a deeper level, it's not the right fit for us.

In some cases, we may find that we are perfectly suited for a certain location or environment, but circumstances prevent us from fully embracing it. This could be due to financial constraints, family responsibilities, or other personal reasons. In these situations, we may feel a sense of longing and yearning for a place that feels like home, even though we are physically in a different location.

The key to navigating these situations is to trust our instincts and listen to our inner voice. It's important to recognize when something is not the right fit for us, even if it seems perfect on the surface. By acknowledging and accepting this, we can then take steps to move towards a path that truly aligns with who we are and what we need. It may be a challenging and uncomfortable process, but in the end, it's essential for our own fulfillment and happiness. Sometimes, fitting perfectly is just not enough – we need to be in the right place for it to truly matter.

Home in Human Form

Hey internet void,

Ever felt like the world is a crowded room, but you're standing alone in the corner, a silent observer of everyone else's happiness? Like you're searching for a missing puzzle piece, a connection that feels like home.

The image of "two arms wrapped around you when you're at your worst" hits different. It's the idea that home isn't a place, it's a person. It's finding solace not in four walls, but in the embrace of someone who sees your storms and chooses to weather them with you.

We spend so much time chasing external validation, searching for that perfect place, that dream job, that Instagram-worthy life. But maybe, just maybe, home is simpler than we think. It's in the quiet moments, the shared laughter, the silent understanding in a shared glance.

It's finding someone who doesn't shy away from your darkness, but instead offers their light as a beacon, guiding you back to yourself.

So, here's to finding that person, that embrace, that feeling of finally belonging. And if you haven't found it yet, remember, you're not alone in this search. The internet void is full of people looking for the same thing, hoping for that same sense of home.

CrystalWind.ca - The Overwhelm Of Finding Your Place In This Sea Of Information

Many will at some time in their life face a questioning of their purpose, their point of being. Some may feel the pressure of needing to do something that “matters”, something “purposeful”! Of course much of this is a bit of a set up as much of this thinking can create a sense of disqualifying our lives. For those wanting to impact humanity or go on the spiritual circuit to share and make your mark; there is overwhelm in embarking on such a quest as well!

𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘺 — I am a woman, daughter, sister, writer, business owner, bonus mama, and woman of faith. These are just a few of my 'identities.' These are the skins I wear and have grown into. These are the stories that I continue to write.⠀ ⠀ Some of these identities I was born wearing. Some of these identities I created, or fell into, or built piece by piece. We each have our unique ways of understanding who we are and how our hearts beat. We each have our paths and places where we've come to fit.⠀ ⠀ And I just want to encourage you that your story might not look like anyone else's — and that's okay.⠀ ⠀ One of the biggest life changes I've undergone in the past few years is becoming a mom. Unlike the 'stereotypical' motherhood journey, I became a mom by choice — by choosing a man and his son to call my family.⠀ ⠀ This journey was one I faced alone, largely in part because people around me didn't quite understand or necessarily support me. It was isolating. It was difficult. And it was something only I could make sense of. I had to find a balance between who I was and the mother I wanted to be, between my personal goals and the values that were now intertwined with the people I called 'family,' and between my business and my hopes for my future as a parent. I also had to learn my own boundaries, my own acceptance, and my own sense of self as everything I used to be had suddenly changed.⠀ ⠀ This process — like any change, really — takes time. And sometimes it hurts. And I share this, not only for the other #bonusparents and #stepparents like me, but for anyone else who is struggling with who they are and where they fit. Sometimes there's no 'easy' way to find yourself.⠀ ⠀ Sometimes you simply have to struggle + follow your heart until it feels right. ⠀ ⠀ [For more of my #momish journey, follow @momishmoments ❤️]⠀ ⠀ #findingyourplace⠀ #marisadonnelly⠀ #fromtheheart⠀ 📷: @denisekophoto https://www.instagram.com/p/CAvVh2CFetv/?igshid=jd2ed01qk4u5

I’m trying to find my inner peace, it isn’t easy, I’m not a yoga person and meditating isn’t my speed. My mistakes have taken their toll on me and now I guess at 35 I’m sadly starting from scratch in my personal life wether I like it or not. Guess I built my walls too high & didn’t let ppl in when I had the opportunity, now they don’t want in anymore and it hard to accept but like everything in life the journey continues for better or worse. #pma #innerpeace #findingyourplace #failedattempts #acknowledgingyourfaults #nothinglastforever #sunset #positiveoutlook (at Puerto Peñasco, Sonora) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3ssTwYgf4C/?igshid=oenaf4b1wo12

I find myself in the silence, in the quiet movement of trees and wind. ⠀ ⠀ I find myself in the moments when I am alone—to reset my internal energy, to hear my heartbeat loud and clear.⠀ ⠀ There is so much beauty in being surrounded by those who love me, but sometimes I need that little break. Sometimes I need that reminder that it's okay to put myself first, to honor my wishes above anything and anyone else.⠀ ⠀ When I am alone the typing of my keys echos into the silence, a natural rhythm I've come to appreciate, I've come to know as my own.⠀ ⠀ I used to cling so desperately to others to find that pace, to see where I fit. But I've learned that life is less about finding ways to mold yourself to others desires, and more about forging that path for yourself.⠀ ⠀ Sometimes you have to search until you find your own silence.⠀ Sometimes you let your heartbeat be the guide.⠀ ⠀ ___⠀ #spilledthoughts #bealight #marisadonnelly ⠀ #resetyourenergy #findingyourplace (at Kailua-Kona, Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv7y1KdBG7Y/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=h6xkv89crqi4
