Someone asked me why I started YBB. So here’s the scoop: I started this page because I knew that there had to be a community of like-minded, spiritual badasses out in the world—I just hadn’t found them yet. While I’ve always longed for a community of some kind, I didn’t realize I was seeking a spiritual community until a few years ago. Believe it or not, I was raised an atheist and a hardcore skeptic 😱 I was taught that God or any kind of higher power was a joke, a crutch for the weak-minded; that there was nothing outside of the material world and physical plane. Science was the only higher power accepted in my household. Anything even remotely approaching “self-help” or “healing” was wrong, bad, or just plain stupid. Emotions were not to be addressed, talked about, or worked through 🙅🏻♀️ • Looking back, it’s somewhat shocking (though perhaps not surprising 😏) that I had a spiritual awakening a few years ago. I’d been slowly exploring a connection with a higher power for a few years, but suddenly, everything metaphysical and spiritual exploded on me in a wild and mystical way. If you’ve been through this kind of transition, this opening up, you know what I mean. It’s like the world as you know it expands rapidly and takes on a radically new shape and you’re swept up into a whirlwind of energetic and synchronistic discovery that blows your mind, every. Single. Day 💥🤯✨ • I felt so alone at this point in my life. Nobody around me knew what was happening. I didn’t even have the words to explain it. My ex called me crazy. My friends were sympathetic (or skeptical) but they just hadn’t been through it. I’ve struggled with a deep sense of loneliness my whole life, and while connecting with the Universe suddenly made me understand how NOT alone I was in the greater sense, as far as intimate human connections were concerned, I felt more alone than ever 😢 • I’m telling you this because I want you to know why I spend so much time making these memes. Are you pickin up what I’m puttin down? Have you been through a spiritual awakening? Do you ever feel alone?
