One of the first lessons 2025 has brought me is realizing just how strong my support system actually is. I hadn’t noticed before, probably because I spent the past couple of years isolating myself to reconnect with who I am.
Thank you for showing me love when I thought I’d lost a part of it. You all know who you are. 🥰

Trauma can pass through generations, & the only way to address it is to recognize that no one is to blame, as we’re all merely responding to our own pains. By expanding our awareness & acknowledging this, we can begin to heal. Understanding this is the 1st step toward ending the ancestral pattern w us. 💖 (4/4)
I saw a friend’s post today about daddy issues, and how we need to stop blaming children for the trauma, abuse, and neglect inflicted by their fathers. Instead, she emphasized that we should hold the fathers accountable, as the issues belong to them, not the children. (1/4)
I’m sharing this because I believe it’s vital to one’s healing to know this:
It’s important to remember that daddy was once a child too, so it could have been his parents’ issues. Or his parents’ parents’. And it goes on and on. So, whom do we hold accountable? (3/4)
As a content creator by profession, I’ve worked with countless brands in the past who’d shell out insane amounts of money for influencer marketing, only to provide rigid guidelines for the creators that killed the reach and engagement of the commissioned content, ultimately destroying the creator’s engagement as well.
Tip to brands: Listen to your KOLs/creators! They usually know what they’re doing.
The reason why I, as a practitioner, and a lot of other healers I know, cleanse energy is because as we do the work (I’m pertaining to deep and honest introspection through inner work) and heal ourselves (again, not pertaining to energy healing modalities such as reiki etc, but actual shadow work), we shed energetic layers and our bodies become more absorptive to external energies. Energetic cleansing, therefore, is very important for us because it helps rid our auras and spaces of others’ energy.
However, this next bit is important: no amount of energy cleansing, sound healing, or any other modality will address the negativity that comes from within. True healing requires genuine inner work. And genuine inner work requires facing that negativity head-on.
So regarding "finding some balance and consistency" as you say, there is nothing wrong with believing that "it's okay not to be okay" while also wanting to regularly cleanse your aura and space. In fact, the 2 go hand in hand.
I agree there is a lot of misinformation about spirituality and energy out there, much like with many other topics. It's really up to each person to explore and discover their truth for themselves.

Being extra ambitious and trying out some Joe Hisaishi on Day 6 of this piano journey. 🥹 I think I’ll give myself 3 months to perfect this. Wish me luck! 🤞🏻
If you keep on forcing yourself not to give an f, that is part of something we call “bypassing” in spirituality. You may know this as toxic positivity. One day, all the f’s you’ve shrugged off will inevitably blow up in your face until you stop, contemplate, dive deep into your core, and figure out why you actually gave an f in the first place. Because if you truly did not give an f about it, you wouldn’t even be telling yourself not to give an f.
So if you’ve been here since the start, thank you. I greatly appreciate your support through the years and for coming along for the ride. And to the newcomers, welcome! I’m so honored to have you all here. My life only gets better from here, and I’m glad I get to share all aspects of myself, both light and dark, with you. 🩶
I’d be lying if I said that at this stage of my healing journey, the numbers have completely stopped mattering to me. They still do quite a bit; it’s such a tough thing to unlearn. But I’ve come a long way from the grip of external validation, I’m so proud of myself for that. This realization inspires me to embrace my authenticity even more radically. 🙌🏻
