HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY
The Truth
Once I stared into your eyes
Saw them twinkle, shining bright
I dreamed of all that life could be
Fell in love, the world felt right
No matter what, I couldn’t fight
You could do no wrong to me
That’s how love was meant to be
Tears and sorrow came one day
Yet laughter chased the pain away
Love was all I had to gain
Until the moment truth appeared
The evil in you reared its head
The veil was lifted, clear to see
Two faces staring back at me
I stood in silence, filled with dread
You were not the one I once knew
Harshness lingered in your voice
Your eyes no longer held their light
A dark shadow has claimed your soul
And I could bear no more that night
So I turned and walked away
Head hung low, my spirit sore
Life had failed me once more
You’re not the person I thought I knew
And I regret I didn’t know
That’s why they say that love is blind

There is a kind of fidelity
in facing forward —
to what life will ask next,
to what you might yet become,
to the quiet knowledge that you have loved deeply,
and survived.
New Blog: Three became Two again
Writing the text for this toot is almost as hard as writing the blog was, I keep starting and deleting everything.
So, straight up.
Our gorgeous buddy has a new direction, he and one of his long time partners are trying out monogamy.
We're no longer a threesome. And it's okay to grieve this.
There’s something poetic about being depressed, listening to bjork and watching the traffic and city lights shimmer and refract in the rain drops on the uber window as you move across the city… #heartache #mood

Finding Strength in Life’s Challenges
Our lives are rife with choices, missteps, trauma, and other issues that can make life seem daunting and sometimes even hopeless. But what if all of these perceived bad things are actually steps on your specific path of growth? Each choice, each setback, is actually a gift, a life lesson pushing you towards your own authenticity. These experiences, though challenging, provide us with the tools to develop resilience and cultivate a deeper understanding of ourselves. They offer valuable insights into our values, desires, and capabilities. By recognizing these moments as essential to our journey, we can transform our perspective and embrace the notion that every hardship and struggle is an opportunity for profound personal evolution. In this light, the tapestry of our lives, woven with both triumphs and trials, reveals a rich narrative of strength and self-discovery, guiding us ever closer to the individuals we are meant to become.

The Nature of Struggle
Life’s challenges often appear as obstacles; yet, they are the very conditions that shape our growth and development. Struggle causes pain, heartache, and emotional distress; it challenges the very nature of our being and pushes us to confront our limitations. From experiences such as the anxiety of needing to pass a test to further a career or the loss of a job, or even deeper, the loss of a loved one. Think about some of the struggles in your life; how did they affect you emotionally and physically? At the time, did you think there could be a lesson in the midst of hardship? While struggle can cause intense anxiety and feelings of despair, being within these struggles offers unexpected lessons that reveal our strength and guide us to our true authenticity.
Lessons Hidden in Setbacks
Every step back carries within it a valuable lesson, teaching us resilience, self-awareness, and authenticity. These moments of reflection allow us to reassess our paths, acknowledging our vulnerabilities while embracing the opportunity to grow stronger. In facing setbacks, we learn to navigate through challenges, gaining insight into our true selves and discovering the depths of our capabilities. The journey is not just about moving forward; it is also about understanding the importance of patience and the power of perseverance in achieving our goals. Recognizing these lessons invites a shift in perspective, allowing us to view hardship not as a punishment but as a possibility.

By shifting our perspective, we begin to see hardships not as burdens, but as opportunities for transformation. Hardship forces us to generate novel ideas and explore alternative perspectives, allowing creativity to blossom in ways we never imagined possible. When we embrace challenges with an open mind, we unlock the potential to learn and grow, discovering strengths we never knew we had. This process encourages us to think outside the box, pushing the boundaries of our conventional thinking and enabling us to approach problems with renewed vigor and innovation. Ultimately, it is through these trials that we forge a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us, transforming adversity into a powerful catalyst for personal and collective growth. This new lens illuminates the larger picture; life is a tapestry where both trials and triumphs are essential threads.
The Tapestry Metaphor Expanded
Like threads in a tapestry, both triumph and trials are essential to the richness of our life narrative. When we apply this metaphor to our daily lives, it becomes more than a philosophy; it evolves into a profound practice of resilience and compassion that we embody in our interactions and experiences. Each challenge we face adds depth and color to our story, creating a vibrant picture of our journey. Successes, on the other hand, serve to illuminate our path, providing motivation and hope. As we weave together these contrasting elements, we not only develop a greater understanding of ourselves but also cultivate empathy for others, recognizing that everyone is engaged in their own intricate tapestry of struggles and victories. In embracing both the light and the dark, we find the strength to rise and the wisdom to support those around us in their respective journeys.
Practical Implications
When we embrace the challenges that are integral to our journey, we cultivate not only personal strength but also a deep sense of collective resilience that connects us with others on similar paths. The insights we gain from navigating these hurdles remind us that our struggles are not detours; rather, they are the very path itself, leading us ever closer to who we are meant to be. Each challenge presents an opportunity to learn and evolve, helping us to shed old beliefs and adopt new perspectives. Together, as we move through these shared trials, we not only discover our individual capabilities but also forge stronger bonds with one another, reinforcing the idea that no one has to face their battles alone. In this way, our collective journey becomes a tapestry of experiences, woven together by the lessons we’ve learned and the strength we’ve gained along the way.

In the end, our lives are not defined by the absence of struggle, but by the way we rise through it. Each hardship, each mess-up, is a thread that deepens the fabric of our existence, adding texture and meaning to the story we are weaving. When we choose to see challenges as gifts, we reclaim our power and transform pain into wisdom, and setbacks into the stepping stones of our journey, rich with both light and shadow. This reveals not only who we are, but who we are becoming, and it is through this continual unfolding, this dance of trial and triumph, that we discover the profound truth: we are shaped, strengthened, and guided by the very struggles we once feared, becoming ever closer to the authentic selves we were meant to embody.

Embrace the present moment and accept reality without judgment or resistance with this talk and guided meditation. Practicing radical acceptance can help us reduce suffering and increase emotional resilience by letting go of our attachment to how things “should” be. The philosophy of Taoism teaches us to live in harmony with nature and emphasizes the importance of balance and finding harmony in all aspects of life.
