#stepping back

[quotethat]

You can love someone through the dark, but you can’t carry their torch and their willingness to walk. You can point to a mirror, but they have to look. So here’s the truth: you’re not giving up on them. You’re giving back the parts of them that were never yours to carry.

[dreaminginthedeepsouth]

In the wisdom traditions of the world the teachings of the Self cannot be separated from what is said about time.

“There is a capacity to step back from our own behavior. It is not valued in our culture or not even recognized. Everything pushes us to ignore this power. What we call commitment, passion, "love”, ambition, devotion, care, concern, pleasure, all these almost always involve our being devoured by the objects of our emotions. We are conditioned to feel that we cannot really care for someone or something unless we are obsessed. But the study of the lives of inwardly developed men and women shows us that the capacity to step back from one’s own behavior allows an individual to be more, not less, caring and loving and devoted.“

Stepping Back a Bit.

Alright, y'all, I have about 10 posts queued up over the next week and a half that will go out after this one, but you're definitely going to see a lot less of me in the coming weeks and months.

Now, only two of you would notice if I disappeared, but for those two, I wanted to share—something shifted, again.

I'm a writer. I've always been a writer. It's how I process the world.

But in the months leading up to and directly following my Separation, I've been leaning more into short-form writing than before. My brain simply lacked the solidity for long-form.

Yes, I wrote a pilot on my flight out to Los Angeles in August. But I drafted the outline long ago, so it was more fill-in-the-blanks than starting from scratch.

And now I'm ready to return to my Strike Book. Like, I have the notes open, the interviews, the posts, and I have the motivation.

I needed to do these blogs. Just like I needed to be silly in fandom for a bit.

It helped me process everything that was going on.

And while I love each and every one of you, it's time for me to shift back a little to my real world. Small as it is, it's mine. And it needs my attention in new ways.

I'm still cheering you on. I still believe in you.

And I'll still pop in every so often to remind you of that.

But if you need to reach me, my Messages are open, here. I will do my best to be there for you, to cheer in your triumphs, to be an ear in your struggles.

We're all humans finding our way through, but it's definitely easier if we don't do it alone.

You didn't know it, but you were a part of my healing. And I will forever be thankful for you.

Again, there's maybe 9 or 10 posts coming after this one I drafted and queued. But the girl behind the posts is gonna be around a bit less.

Not that you ever needed me. You're stronger than you know. But I hope I offered a little light.

Blog Status Update

Taking time away from writing and interactions to reorganize my blogs and muses. Activity will be slowed maybe even halted here until further notice. Aside from maybe small things when I have time and get inspired. If you feel the need to unfollow, go for it, no bad blood homies.

Clarity in Stepping Away

I always find clarity is stepping away. When you think about it when you’re up close to looking at something you see all these little details. However, when you take a step back you are able to see the big or overall picture. When it comes to life too often we obsess over the little details and ignore the big picture. I am no stranger to taking a step back to gain some clarity; sometimes though…
