FATED
A series of connections I've encountered over the past few years.
Through them, I discovered more of myself than ever before.
A deeper understanding of connection.
Boundaries, intellect, security, creativity, passion, friendship, intimacy, and through introspection they all intertwined with my perception of self.
Not all positive but fortunately not all negative either. Through each connection made I examined parts of myself that were uncomfortable. To understand whether it was my mind or my heart that was triggered by certain experiences.
A connection to one person can come in many forms. Not all are meant to last but could have a lasting impact on how you operate as a being. Some will feel as if they'll never end and some will feel as if they won't be around for much longer than a day.
All of them are in the air free flowing.
A connection is not one-sided, it is a link to another person, place, or object. Forming anywhere or at any time.
They are also not always formed with intent, which is the beauty in them. Sometimes intention can feel forceful to a connection. I learned that the hard way one too many times. But the connections I allowed to flow freely have stuck by my side.
You cannot force anyone or anything to flow with you. Because that would discourage the free will of the other being.
Resurfacing what a fateful encounter means to me. It is purposeful, yet free-flowing. Allowing yourself to be open to any possibility that each encounter is an opportunity to grow and connect.
I am a living fated encounter. Our connection could be anything it wants to be. It’s within our free will to decide the outcome
