It’s spring darling, let yourself bloom.

Taking up space does not necessary mean expressing yourself to others. Being loud about your becomings; look at me, value me, please, give me permission to be me.

Maybe it’s more about taking up space within yourself. To allow yourself to be. To focus on yourself, and not being so caught up in other people’s whereabouts.

Take up space in your own life, darling.

Become comfortable sitting with yourself. Listening to your own voice. Choosing your own path. Within, within. Within. It all starts from within. Who are you when no one is watching? When no one is there to validate your presence? Your accomplishments. Is your art still valuable, without the attention of the other? Or, is your own validation not enough? What do you seek from them, that you cannot give to yourself?

It’s human to want connection. Without others, we’re incomplete. But without yourself, you’re nothing.

Allow your breath to deepen, allow your thoughts to expand. Allow your voice to matter. You have the whole universe within you, and somehow you still seek all the answers out there.

What if you became quiet? No distractions. No temptations. No noise. Nothing. Complete stillness. You see, stillness does not equal silence. You will hear the birds sing, the heart spring. That subtle light emerging from within. Growing, expanding into every cell of your body.

Stillness is like a lullaby. A warm hug from a loved one. A gentle stroke on the cheek. The body finally whispering It’s safe. Safe to be me.

Allow yourself to exist, darling.

You do not have to be load to be valuable. You do not have to shout to make your voice heard. You do not have to share to exist. Breathe, darling, breathe.

Create space for all things new. Allow boredom to enter. Take up space within your body, take up space within your mind. That is what makes you free – To be able to be stimulated, without external stimuli.

Live slower, and You will emerge faster.
