Sid said,
just go with the flow.
Not in a dismissive way.
Not in a spiritual bypass kind of way.
But in the way someone says it
when they’ve watched you survive
and still choose softness.
This is my best friend.
Fourteen-plus years.
We’ve been through everything together.
Different versions of ourselves.
Different seasons.
Still here….
The last few days were heavy.
Setbacks stacked on top of effort.
One thing after another.
But I figured it out.
I always do…
That’s when he reminded me
he’s got my back.
That sometimes life just happens,
and the only real choice
is acceptance or resistance.
I chose acceptance.
But not at my own expense.
I told him I’m done being too nice.
Done pouring where nothing pours back.
Done shrinking to keep the peace.
Boundaries are my New Year’s resolution.
Not walls.
Standards.
Because if I’m not okay,
I’m not a benefit to anyone.
Not to love.
Not to work.
Not to this world.
What hit me most was this,
years ago, when I started awakening this way,
back in 2017,
I spoke about energy, frequency,
the law of attraction, all of it.
He didn’t understand then.
And neither of us was wrong.
We were just in different frequencies.
He said,
I remember when you used to talk about this stuff
and I was completely clueless.
And I remember you telling me,
one day you’ll understand,
whether it’s with me or someone else.
You will.
And now… he does.
That’s how it works.
Frequency.
Timing.
Evolution.
Spiritual care isn’t optional....
