Experiencing New

Photographer 📸: Evan Munoz

Hey family, I would like to speak on entering into a danger zone ⛔️ vulnerable. When you are entering ⚠️ danger zones ⚠️ vulnerable, it can make you or break you. Let's get into the blog!  

If you read my previous blog, you know I am walking into NEW, but old territory. Experiencing NEW isn’t always a smooth ride. That’s why it’s best for you to always trust your instincts. Presently Healing and coming back to a place where you been hurt 😳. Baby, the triggers will trigger. Old wounds will reopen. How do you navigate through this process? Believe me, it will be a challenge. But, to heal the body we must take the healing path journey. Our bodies need to heal from the intense trauma it has experienced. I am learning, setting boundaries isn't enough. I have to go into recovery from the intense convos of setting certain boundaries.

I grew up in an authoritative household, so I rebel against any conversations that are aggressive. I choose to communicate calmly as an adult. I do not accept the hostile communication style. The hostile approach does not sit well with my spirit. The inner child becomes triggered. Why? She feels she is entering a danger zone. Adult you must protect the inner child. In my book of poetry 📕 there's a poem called "Georgia". I speak on the urge to run away when I feel a sense of danger. The urge to build a life on the other side of the world 🌍 to escape the immeasurable pain. There are times our bodies want to be Away from it ALL. Healing old wounds is a journey. We must process, reflect, and heal in this lifetime.

I encourage you to be your strongest self when reentering places that were danger zones. You could think you’re ready, but a trigger moment will let you know if you’re ready for real. Inner work must be done to be your most confidence self when letting folks know "don't play with me". All in All, I am adjusting.  Already, I miss my Self Care Sunday’s beach days in California 😫. Surprisingly, I am resting while getting work done. Also, making moves in silence is the new normal. Not to mention, I am collaborating with people I did not know I needed to open the door and collaborate with. Leaders have to Lead. I am owning my leadership role in this world 🎥.

Lastly, here is a poem from my book of poetry 📕

LOVE LINGER

BY LaToya D. Lee

I did not know I loved her for that long

I did not know I would soon have to end the connection between her and I

I did not know I would be in tears for the years to come

Still, I have not figured out the connection between her and I

Letting go

Accepting

What is love?

It is time I find out

No longer can I put my love life on hold

The connection

So strong

Why did I hold on so long to this connection?

So many love interests

And she is the connection I allowed to linger

I told my heart to stop loving her

Still, it would not stop loving her

I have unanswered questions about this connection

I can no longer explore the why

Emotionally, the connection can no longer linger

I must disconnect

I do not know why I loved her for so long
