✨ Your own hero ✨

Do you recognize the feeling that you have a deep need inside, but that it is never fullfilled, because you ask for help, finally you do, but because it feels vulnerable to do so, you ask for different things, hoping for someone to dig deeper and see what it is that your heart actually wants.

You know, certainly I do. I can tip toe around my question like a ballerina basically. And unfortunately, I can tell you the hero I dream about never comes to take the shovel and start digging deel enough to find out what I need. And so, I came to the conclusion to take off these point shoes and trade them for flat shoes.

And with my feet on the earth, I could see that it was me. It was me that had to be brave for once. And it meant that with shivering hands I reached out to someone and said "you know, what I truly want? I want someone to sit down and listen as I tell my story, as every person in my life looked away and I don't have the feeling I exist without it", and I started to cry, because this was the need that I felt for over ten years, but never said. And so, I never told my story. It was since that day that I gave myself the permission to heal 🌱. It was the scariest and most caring thing I ever did for me.

Maybe you find yourself on point shoes dancing around what you truly feel you need. Know that that is okay. But know that it is also okay to speak about your needs. Everybody has them. You don't have to be ashamed. It makes you human, strong and vulnerable. In a way we are all the same. 🌱❤️
