the Phoenix within us
art story
The most important relationship that you can have is the relationship with yourself.
Sometimes you are unaware of yourself; unaware of what your body needs; unaware of what your soul is asking; unaware of what your emotions are saying.
Unaware.
Or completely aware, wishing to just put it in a closet.
What you are seeking, lives inside of you.
The fight and ware energy in your world tells you that you need to fight to belong. You need to struggle to be approved. You need to put a flag in the ground to claim your identity.
But you already have this inside of you.
You are here to transform the world. But you need to do you. You need to be you.
Put down the energies that you do not need, to make room for more of the energies that you desire. You need to release.
And for some things in your life, when we say a release, we mean shatter.
And why must they shatter? Why must things shatter for you? Why must they shatter for anyone? It is because you would not let go of them otherwise.
The ruts that you get into can be so addictive.
Shattering can feel like such a dark night of your soul. Such an existential crisis. Such a devastation.
And yet it is through some of the most intense fires that your friend, the Phoenix, arises.
