So what if you find out that all of sudden the belief that you held that you were not safe because of dissension was suddenly not true. The truth is your entire world as you know it — will shatter and for the better.

You know longer have to be afraid of anyone’s thoughts or actions and you could just live your life allowing things to be. How incredible amazing is that? You don’t have to have PTSD because you are not in danger in anymore. You are safe.

You don’t have to live at the edge of your seat because you are now in charge of your destiny. There were parts of your life that will stay the same. But the part that you gave away your control to others to not allow conflict in your life to try to pretend you were safe no longer needs exist.

You can now breathe freely. Love deeply. Laugh loudly. You can go back to your favorite bar knowing that it doesn’t matter if you ex thinks they own the place. You can take your power back and you are still safe. You are now able to view people who you had disagreements knowing you are safe. You can accept being rejected by people, places and things; because you are safe.

You no longer need to be on the edge of your seat; because you are safe. What an incredible insight to know that you are safe. That you can release control and know it doesn’t matter. That you don’t need it anymore. You are finally free.

And that is what the coronavirus time being by myself did for me. It set me free from my past even through it made me deal with the handcuffs. I am finally able to walk this Earth knowing that I am safe. Thank you for letting me share.
