Dear Universe,
If at all possible, in my next life, I would like to come back as Hello Kitty.
Thanks in advance for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Sage

It Wasn't Your Fault...
Please note that emotional abandonment is real. A parent or caregiver is supposed to be emotionally attuned to his/her child. Being distant, dismissive, and using the silent treatment are all forms of abandonment. This is childhood trauma. Call it out for what is is. It's abusive. You were and are allowed to be seen, heard, and attuned to. You were and are allowed to take up space, abundantly and joyfully. Be kind and patient with yourself as you heal. It's easy to say things like, "You must love yourself first." But please know that if you did not receive the blueprint on how to do that from your primary caregivers, you may struggle with this. Start by taking loving actions towards yourself. Perhaps, a nice warm shower. Make yourself a simple meal. Go for a walk. Sing along to your favorite song. Dance around for absolutely no reason at all. Slowly, find people who accept you for who you are. Perhaps you will find them in a support group, a community group (faith-based or secular), a common interest group, a random occurrence. I promise you will find them if you keep your mind and heart open. Learn about boundaries. I am trying to do the same. We're all in this together. Much love to you from someone who is recovering from childhood trauma.

Standing on the platform
Waiting for the 6
Awakening to the programming
Tired of carrying this bag of bricks
*We are not meant to carry that which is not in alignment with our highest good.*

Midnight thoughts The city that never sleeps An underground speakeasy She smiles as she weeps An orphan An exile Looking to belong A mysterious figure whispers It will all work out Be loyal to your song

On a Train to Nowhere...
She boarded a train to nowhere
It began to rain
She made eye contact with a stranger
They mirrored each other's pain

Neglected by those who were supposed to care She returned back to sea She fell for a sailor with many secrets When he disappeared The mermaid grieved the shattered fantasy

Woman to woman, I tell you this because I care about you:
• Get your degree, get your bag and be your own man. Be independent.
• Don't get married or move in with someone until your brain is fully developed (age 25)
• Be obsessed with improving yourself every single day. You can create your own dream life.
• Don't get pregnant unless you're emotionally, physically and financially ready.
• Be surrounded by people that make you wiser, happier and prettier.
• You are still young in your 20's, 30's, 40's and more.
• A relationship is partnership: Make sure he helps you too
• Always take care of your appearance

Rendezvous...
An enchanting night An ancient poolside retreat A rendezvous with her shadow It was time to meet

Dear one, my inner child wants so desperately to tell you the truth...the truth that the humor I use is just a mask to hide the pain.
