Once you realize that the road is the goal and that you are always on the road, not to reach a goal, but to enjoy its beauty and its wisdom, life ceases to be a task and becomes natural and simple, in itself an ecstasy.

“One of the best feelings is finding someone who really gets you. A person who lets you be vulnerable and honest. The kind of person who encourages you to push past your flaws because they accept you as you are. Someone who never tells you that you’re too much of this and too little of that. Because to them you’re just enough of everything they love.”
— Sylvester McNutt
I love people who make you feel seen, heard, valued, supported and loved. People with gorgeous hearts, open minds and genuine intentions. The rare gems who truly understand you, give you total freedom to be yourself, and make you feel beautiful in your own skin just for being YOU
I promise you, closed doors, bad energy, rejection, and shit that falls apart is actually the universe protecting you from people, paths, and places not meant for you.
“not everyone deserves healed versions of you, not everyone deserves to admire the flowers that’ve bloomed from the cracks in your heart, not everyone can hold you without pulling your triggers, feel no guilt for releasing what you’ve grown from to welcome in who you want to be.”

Stop chasing people. If they block you. Cut off contact, ignore you.. Let them go. Let those who naturally gravitate to you enjoy your energy. We spend so much time begging for those who wouldn't blink twice at the thought of you. Cherish those who are there by choice, and not there because you chased them every time they decided to escape.
“My biggest mistakes in life have all stemmed from giving my powers to someone else - believing that the love others had to offer was more important than the love I had to give myself.”

Date by honoring your nervous system.
This took me a long while to realize, but once I did, it changed how I see dating and chemistry. Let me explain.
When you realize that chemistry and flying sparks have zero correlation with compatibility, you've leveled up your dating mindset.
Most often those sparks and butterflies you feel, that's your subconscious picking up on familiar toxic patterns in the other person. Patterns which remind you of past experiences or even childhood trauma. Our brains are designed to see familiarity as safe, so when toxic dynamics are all you know, this can turn against you. You have to conscious rewire your brain, and be intentional and aware of how they make you feel.
Toxicity = familiar = safe = we interpret it as attraction. If they make your nervous system go haywire, we see this as chemistry and sparks flying, but it is actually alarm bells going off to signal we are not safe.
Healthy = unfamiliar = can feel unsafe and scary. We may interpret a vanilla, calm, comfortable interaction as a lack of chemistry. But there is a difference between no physical attraction, and being attracted to someone but not feeling any sparks. The latter is normal in the beginning. If your nervous system feels calm, they make you feel comfortable and at ease, that's a good sign!
So if there's any advice I would give to my younger self, it's this: date based on how he makes your nervous system feel. Does he make you feel safe, comfortable, at ease? That's the green flag to go for.
