Because this year, this (in my old illusion) eternally single being (ME!) created a beautiful new(ish) relationship!
One that took me by surprise and also felt so obvious.
And has grounded me in a way a relationship hasn’t for a really long time (in over 7 years!)
Synchronously, the piece I made this year (Okan) has taught me so much about relationships and the heart and I believe that has also rippled out into my personal life… more on that next week…
In my old beliefs, I was an enneagram number 4 (also known as the artist archetype or tragic romantic), so my relationships tended to be deeply romantic… and often also tragic/unrequited/tumultuous/restrictive/dramatic/traumatic… and then over the past 7 years, I have had some wonderful adventures relating but really they have been about unlearning those old relating styles and experimenting, exploring and discovering (and choosing) my whole complete and diverse universal self.
And then this one came along… it’s different… it’s grounding… it feels like a best friend (and also not) and familiar and comfortable (and also not)… it’s easeful and flowing (but also challenges me to grow and see the grains of sand often!) ❤️
I am not naming this beautiful human because I choose not to be very public about our relationship, but I also choose to share this post because this relationship that surprised me feels like it’s here to stay… and it feels an important part of who I am right now…
My partner does very similar work to me (which is really fun because we speak a similar language and are both extremely willing to look at our stuff and accept our mistakes): in fact this work is why we met 7 years ago… we even went on a couple of (somewhat awkward) dates 7 years ago… (and that was that)… and then we ended up passing one another at intuition events every few years: one took us to South Africa where he told me (intuitively) about my future relationship (which it seems was actually with him!)
Earlier this year, we travelled to Brazil together… then we did a cleanse together… then we met one another’s families… and now here we are in Mauritius, and it’s a joy for me to be in the unfolding of it all: in the not knowing and adventure of seeing and discovering my vision of the relationship I would love & had been making a choice about for so long unfolding…
But what is most fascinating to me is that I am finding that this journey of love and life is really all about falling in love with ourselves and our inner universe… and as I embody my goddxx-like potential and live by my Soul truth, that is being beautifully mirrored in my external relationships and world…
