Thanks, Alex. The phrase "I'm done chasing" came to me about two months ago. It's been hard to grieve many of my relationships that simply don't exist without my emotional scaffolding, but it's also been liberating in a way - like removing the mask or lifting the veil. I feel like I'm a pilgrim again, on a lone journey through the desert. Maybe that's exactly where I'm supposed to be. At least I like my own company.
Thanks Alex. What a beautiful, raw and vulnerable post. You do feel lighter and that’s an amazing feeling. Thank you for the reminder and every line you write touched me deeply. ❤️
content. or...contentment...is why I named my dog Tosha, for Santosha, the Sanskrit term for "always content". I figured if I forced myself to say the word several times a day, I might just embody it eventually. my dog sure is content (most of the time). And then I tattooed it on my wrist. It's been 5.5 years, and I think I"m mostly there. mostly.
I truly love this. Alex. The concept that we waste so much time and energy on interfering with the natural processes like healing etc. Being where we are, enjoying the one life we get (in this moment anyway) while we have it. A beautiful concept. Thank you.

Alex, "I’m not waiting for some future version of me to show up so I can finally relax. I’m here. This is the life."
This is so important. You are enough. But that doesn't mean you won't keep evolving. Life is a process.
Loving that you’ve landed in contentment. It’s a marvelous cosy place to dwell.
