Maybe you lost years to your trauma.

Maybe entire chapters of your life were spent in survival mode. Maybe you spent years numb, hurting, dissociating, constantly bracing for impact. Maybe you’re only just now learning what safety feels like. Maybe you don’t even know safety yet because you’re still in survival mode.

Your story isn’t over there. And you’re still here. You can choose what comes next.

You can build something beautiful with the pieces you have now. You can create joy even if it sits beside sadness. You can grow a soft, safe life even after living in fear for so long. You can find people who love you and make you feel safe.

No, you can’t erase what happened to you. And you shouldn’t have to pretend it didn’t matter.

But that pain doesn’t get to own you forever.

Your trauma doesn’t get to define the rest of your life.

You do. You get to define you.

With every step forward, every boundary you set, every time you choose healing, even when it’s messy and slow, you are reclaiming your life.

I just want someone who will go on adventures with me to forests we’ve never been to. We could find a stream and skip rocks, pick flowers for each other, and sit in trees to watch the sun set.

I am TELLING YOU if you have spent months, years, around the same trees, land, etc., they WILL recognize you and reach out to you or not mind if you reach out to them. You don’t need to know anything about them.

A tree in the forest behind my parents house I’ve never spoken to before reached out - I never would’ve expected it. I don’t know what kind of tree it is. But of course this tree knows me. This tree has known me since I was six.

Trust me. This land knows you. These plants know you. They want to speak with you.

okay but this has actually been really helpful for building up my belief that I can do magic and that what i do works and that I can actually create the change and manifestations that I really want.

if you're struggling with believing that you can manifest something, start with something really mundane and small and repetitive. Then once you've done that and built you confidence, you can slowly work up to bigger things.

(this could also apply to very non-witchy things too)

sometimes i forget witchcraft is for the small things too. I literally asked the stoplight closest to my apartment to stop letting me get stuck behind cars so i couldn't make my right-on-red. and lo-and-behold, haven't gotten stuck at that red light since.
