All this time all I wanted was to be accepted. A space where I was free to become and birth my truth. I was craving a space for so long, and I look back to marvel at the journey I have made to reach here. To a space I longed for, it took me a decade but I am thankful for the journey I took.

I stumbled, fumbled but I am here now in a place I feel seen and belong. A space for growth, love, and kindness. I came to recognize this space as my home. All seize to exist in this space I have created for myself, an extra breathing space, a space to stretch, a space to be kind to myself, and a space to be with myself. To look for space in your life and finally find it, it’s the greatest joy one can comprehend.

This space I manifested is a place of comfort but not a comfort zone. It’s a place where I planted the seeds of my purpose and tending to the growth of meaningful alms. A sacred space where I am constantly working on myself, as well as find time to birth my truth and my soul.

I am extremely protective and will defend what's mine. I guard this space with my utmost care and love because my space has been violated before. When I hadn’t built the fort to protect my inner child. My space was attacked time and again, and was destroyed. It needed a boundary to protect and safeguard me from the world, I wasn’t prepared or equipped with the weapons.

A haven I can recuperate without the scrutiny of the world. A sense of belonging. A feeling of warmth. I have felt all these sensations before and it was when I was back in my hometown.

Sitting under the giant tree where I fell asleep reading a book. When I opened my eyes I saw the beautiful valley surrounding me with clouds flowing down the mountains.

This sense of space came when I turned inward. The inner work I had to do and I am still working on.

I’m in the middle of a transition from leaving unhealthy mindsets and come into my being. This is a space of healing. I come to this space to get away and to escape from the world, away from the judgments and negative emotions.

To come to an awareness of the existence of this space where no one is needed but yourself and your practices. Surrounded by people who uplift you and support you, and guide you. Tuning into the goods of the world and rejecting all the unnecessary unwanted emotions.

please clap 👏 if you liked my article.
