Where it all began...

It wasn’t always like this, you see. As a kid, I knew who I was. My innocence and my limited knowledge of this world made me feel safe. I wasn’t afraid to be alone. I wasn’t afraid of silence. I wasn’t afraid to do the things I enjoyed. I wasn’t afraid of my own thoughts. I loved with all of my heart. But the older I got, and the more I grew to learn about this world, the less innocent I became. The things I once loved doing, now peaked no interest. The places I once found extraordinary, now seemed ordinary. Who was I? Who had I become? These questions seemed to constantly run through my mind.

I started to live solely through the fears and opinions that others had instilled in me. Instead of learning my own opinions and belief systems, I lived through the opinions and belief systems fed to me by others. It is truly no surprise I lost myself. 

For every day I lived through the words of others, I felt myself drift away, piece by piece. Until eventually, the “me” I once knew so well, was completely gone. All that was left of me were broken fragments of the opinions and fears of others. To cope with this, I reached for relationships and intimate “flings” to find relief and comfort. I attached myself to others to feel alive. I looked to others to find myself, which come to find out, was the root to all of my problems. 

After consecutive failed relationships and friendships, and countless heartbreaks, I had to admit to myself a hard truth. I used relationships to feel alive because I didn’t know who or what I was without them. I had to hold myself accountable to this. Talk about a hard pill to swallow. 

I really got to thinking about this. If I didn’t know myself, how could I love myself? And as the well-known saying goes, if you can’t love yourself, how do you expect others to love you? Things finally started making sense. 

I am on a mission to find myself. I am going to find the “me” that I am meant to be. This journal will be extremely personal. I will be forced to admit harsh truths from my past, but in order to grow and learn about myself, I must face these challenges head-on. I will be sharing every bit of this journey with you all. By doing so, I hope to help those who seek it. I know full-heartedly that millions and millions of people, both men and women, suffer from this every day. I also know that, amongst other things, this may be the leading reason people choose to end their lives and/or search for coping mechanisms to escape (i.e drinking, smoking, drugs, relationships, etc). 

I am going to take you all back in time to the origin of my problems. I will share with you some of my deepest, darkest secrets, even those I wish not to admit to myself. I hope my words encourage you to go down the same path of self-discovery. I hope my story helps answer some of the longing questions you’ve had about your selves. At a minimum, I hope you find comfort from my posts, in knowing that if you suffer as I have, you are not alone. 

With love, 

One Found Soul

“What happened?” A feminine voice asked frantically.

The voice was familiar but he was treading between conciousness and the abyss. He felt as though he was riding the waves as he tried to remember just who he was.

“He just collapsed.” Another voice, male this time, responded. “He hadn’t started practicing yet.”

“He didn’t hit his head on anything?” Another brisk female voice asked.

He could feel fingers lifting his head and moving it gingerly to the side. He tried to move it himself but couldn’t. He tried not to panic when his body didn’t respond.

“No.” The male voice answered. “He was wearing his helm even.”

The examination went on for a few minutes as he concentrated on his hand. Finally, he could feel his hand twitch.

“He is waking up!” The first female voice announced. “His hand moved, I swear it.”

“Gimli.” Ah yes, that’s what his name is. “Can you open your eyes?”

Straining, Gimli changed his focus and slowly opened his eyes, wincing at the bright light. A murmer sent one of the persons scurrying to partially cover the lamp before Gimli tried again. Finally he opened his eyes and remembered.

Two weeks from yesterday the movers come to load up all our belongings. So two from today we will be on the road, heading east. We are still deciding which route to take. It depends on the weather. If there’s the possibility of snow or other bad storms, we will have to take the most southern way, which means driving all the way across Texas. Whichever way we go, it’s a long-ass drive. 😜 #livinghappilyevernow #iamhappilyevernow #atlonglastheard #atlonglastseen #exactlythesamebutdifferent #decisionsdecisions #movingtotheeastcoast #leavingcalifornia #packing #moving #anewpath #day17 #365dayphotoproject (at Ventura, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsvfLUtDgqj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=oqkb1m59j3el

A New Decade: A New Me

Recently, I have been practicing quieting my egocentric mind. I found her.  I am learning how to recognize her and tame her. I have been practicing this since August of 2019. I actively recognize her about twice a day. I have been able to turn her off when her fear makes me angry, sad, lonely, jealous, or afraid. She is cunning; that crafty little survivor. However, she interferes with my ability to enjoy the now. 

In this new decade my intention is to live presently. And to learn more about my small, still, quiet self. The self that my egocentric mind has been protecting all of these years. I want to know her better. 

This blog is a way for me to track my progress. It is for me. However, if you find that the Universe led you here, please feel free to walk beside me and we will encourage each other along the way.

This morning, I asked the cards "How can I create a new path for myself?" I drew the Magician from The Tarot of the Divine. She literally jumped out of the deck. 🌟 The Fairy Godmother stands in front of me, ready to grant my every wish. She had everything she needs to see herself through what is in front of her, possessing a unified mind, body, spirit and balanced emotions. She is ready for the new journey she is about to begin. 🌟 The Magician reminds me that I already have everything I need to create a new path for myself filled with all sorts of new choices and challenges. I don't have to stay stuck in the same cycle; I can choose a different path. 🌟 I already have everything I need to sparkle on. 🌟 #tarotreadersofinstagram #tarottribe #tarotinteractions #tarotofthedivine #magician #choices #cycle #anewpath #newdirection #newjourney #sparkleon #shinebright #likeadiamond #cardoftheday https://www.instagram.com/p/CP0PjrzHDBZ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Another of my #SWTOR pieces for my series. This is from A New Path which is book four or five. A newly knighted Jedi Ankyla Heano, now 12 years old, is assigned a huge task. She is to be the first Jedi to enter the Sith Academy under the guise of a failed Jedi. Here she is on a ship headed for Hutt space where she will meet Imperial Agents that will take her to Koriban, the Sith homeworld. #JediKnight #YoungJediKnight #SWTOR #dazstudioiray #dazstudio4 #dazstudio #AnkylaHeano #MyBooks #ANewPath #StarWars #InflitrateTheSith #sithacolyte

A New Path - Chp 2 Sneak Peek

Hello Beloved Followers!

I cannot believe how long it has been since I have updated ANYTHING. This semester was quite busy but I only have one class left this week. I have completed all the assignments for that so I am now free to return to writing until February or so. Hopefully I will be able to squeeze out as many chapters as possible to provide regular updates. 

And now....a little peek into how Thorin and Bilbo are doing! <3 Stay tuned for the full chapter on A New Path AO3!

Thorin allowed himself a small grin as he followed behind his hobbit. They had left their company in the dining hall in favor of exploring the surrounding forest in the moonlight. In truth, Thorin was quite nervous as he thought of the small wooden bead in his pocket. Bilbo hummed a tune, his face turned slightly to the moon. Thorin stopped breathing for a moment when the moonlight highlighted Bilbo’s smile.

“What do you think of the meeting today?” His hobbit turned to look at him, smile still adorning his face.

Thorin forced himself to breath again. “I think it went well. It is clear that Sigibert and a few other elders aren’t against our quest.”

Bilbo nodded, his eyes returning to the path in front of him to prevent any tripping. “I think that is because of their truthsayer. Had we tried to lie, I doubt we would have had as much favor with the council.”

“Well it is lucky that I had you by my side to recognize what she was.” Thorin chuckled as he let his hand brush against Bilbo’s.

Bilbo shrugged. “I only ever heard of them in the stories my mother used to tell me as a faunt. They are a part of our history, although of course everyone back home thinks they are myths.”

“Mayhaps now that they are aware of the Shire, there might be some contact between the two.”  Thorin said thoughtfully. “It might completely upend the Shire.”

A warm feeling filled Thorin as Bilbo threw his head back and laughed. “I can imagine that Lobelia would just about keel over at the improprity of the whole thing.” The hobbit responded, brushing aside a large fern.

Thorin chuckled in response. “That would be an agreeable sight to see.” As their laughter faded away, Bilbo pulled Thorin along a smaller path to the side. “May said there was a field that had a night-blooming mock orchid. I haven’t ever had a chance to see one.” 

“What is a night-blooming mock orchid?” Thorin frowned but allowed his hobbit to drag him through the trees.

“Well there is only one flower to each plant and they only bloom once every 40 years to release the seeds and then they wither and die. It is quite a sight to see.” Bilbo’s excited bounce in his steps were amusing to Thorin as they continued. “I doubt that any of the flowers are ready to bloom now but I still can’t wait to see them.”

Thorin was content to let Bilbo guide them through the forest, their hands still linked. Their silence was companionable as Thorin’s free hand rolled the wooden bead with his fingers in his pocket. Ten minutes later, there was a break in the trees and a moonlit field beyond.

We hadn't been to the Twelve Hills Nature Trail lately and we're pleasantly surprised at all the greenery. We usually take the same route around, but Elliot decided to go the opposite direction, which lead to a new perspective. #oakcliff #twelvehills #toddlerhike #anewpath (at Twelve Hills Nature Center)
