The Hermit

Marinelle CabilloLeave a comment

Detached trying to find the meaning of life is when I reconnected with myself.

A reunion that could only take place in complete solitude.

To know what your heart truly desires, you must first know who you are as an individual.

So, I chose to fall in love with the silence.

I chose to look within rather than out.

I chose to be selective with my time.

I gave myself the freedom to reevaluate and question everything.

The greatest revelation: being alone does not mean lonely.

I found that the company of myself is the most peaceful solace I know.

Lose Control

Finally, the white flag has been raised.

It’s time to surrender and humbly accept defeat.

The inner war is over.

Let go of the desire and need to control every outcome.

Relax. It’s okay to just let things be and stand still in the moment.

Overthinking, forcing, and trying to command every aspect of your life will ironically block what’s trying to make its way to you.

Don’t get in the way of yourself.

Let go of the obsessive need to control.

Trust that things are meant to play out the way they’re supposed to.

Words Are Spells

The power of words are underrated.

Our words are spells we put out into the universe.

We speak things into existence without even realizing it.

Our words can protect our desires, or harm them.

Often, we unknowingly speak fear and doubt into our plans, and the universe follows our lead.

Claim your blessings confidently as if they have already happened.

Speak it into existence and watch it work in your favor.

Never forget how powerful your words are.

Perspective

What you choose to focus on becomes your reality.

Flip the switch and see how fast things change.

I have everything I need, and everything I want is en route.

What’s for me will never pass me.

Trust in the “not now,” “not this,” or just flat out, “no.”

My cup is always full, even when it is half empty.

Not everything deserves a reaction, I can only control my own actions.

The love I give will always make its way back to me.

Happiness is a choice, and I’m choosing it.

2023

Dear 2023,

Hands down, you were the best year yet.

I would’ve never thought this year would play out the way it did, but damn am I grateful for it all.

You were full of surprises.

You proved to me that the answers to most of my problems could be found within.

You opened my eyes to see that happiness is a choice, and it’s all about perspective.

You told me to trust my intuition, and damn did it restore my trust in divine timing.

You reminded me that the opinion I have of myself is all that matters.

You encouraged me to take advantage of everything life has to offer, for I’m only this young once.

You forced me to stop watering what is dead.

You gave me a glimpse of what I can be if I continue to work on myself.

But most importantly, you brought me back to me.

2023, you will forever be the year I decided to choose myself.
