survival of the nurtured
Is it possible to feel close to your world? Can you wake up through circumstance be it labelled hopeless or heightened? Can you open to what you are most resisting and allow space for the grieving? Is it possible to belong to love once again?
Human connection is the greatest predictor of resilience. Resilience may be 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝 by your bloodline but is more importantly 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝 by your chosen level of 𝐯𝐮𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲. Ironically, the respect and acknowledgment gained through interaction enhances the sense of our own potential, strengthens the inner locus of control, and gives us the right amount of courage to 𝐝𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐰𝐚𝐲. Regardless of our upbringing, the choice is always there, ready and waiting. We no longer have to simply survive, we have the right to thrive.
Here, our practiced confidence has the potential to defeat the depression of self-trust and connection to our world, gifting us the perception of viewing difficulties as an opportunity for deeper connection.

Take some time to reflect, are you merely surviving or are you thriving on your level of vulnerability? To what degree are you giving yourself permission to be truly seen?
