RE: Listening to the Animals

in The MINIMALISTlast year

Hello!

No. i write about the journey after we've left. Privacy and all with a younger human. You'll find the dates at the top as headings. This was November 2022. :)

Shoooo.... it's been hectic in some ways. One move was unexpected and was supposed to be a 3 month stay and that just threw everything into chaos so have been treading water since end November really.

Yes. It is tiring but more so and unnecessarily due to some not so okay behaviour by people. But it is like an apocalypse right now after COVID and with loadshedding so people are in survival mode.

And that's when you see who is who in the zoo.

It'd be easier if I had some savings for emergencies but it's hand to mouth and unexpected turns are problematic. But...

I can't believe how strong Nathan and I are now. It's almost impossible to rattle us these days. Really. And it's been super stressful at times. So we are gaining from it immensely.

Yes :) After we visited we decided a farm with tons of animals. And a van to travel. But tons of animals mostly!

In the thick of another challenge. Yep. F*cking tired now! But life... so comms not great but I'll always be back to check in, if a bit slower than usual.

Love you! Special human.

Yeah, got the date but wasn't sure are you still there. Life is a bitch hon, 6 months ago I had totally different plans, stable income, and then life went in its own direction and I am currently living below every possible minimum that I have ever lived, I guess I have to adapt to that as well.

And that's when you see who is who in the zoo.

I don't have anything to say about it for a long time already...

What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.
Cliché or not... you will make it trough it and then laughing in it's face.

Well well...

Seems we've been on the same journey. :)

I suspect many people are after this "shift".

I think you're right. I miss myself though. I used to be very gentle and soft and had a lot of faith and hope.

But I'm settling into my new me. I think a radical shift in perspective like this takes a long time to integrate fully.

If you're fucked and need a place to land you're welcome here. In fact... come here and let's find some land and fill it with animals and just camp next to a river. 👍

Not suspicions, just less dealing with them.:D

Process is process and habits are tough thing that takes time to be beaten up.

Sure, let me just grab my homestead and here I am!🤣

I edited my comment because I left out the "are". I meant I'm sure many people are on the same journey and going through massive change as well.

But yes. Less people has been a part of the shift. More silence is less noisy. We humans are complicated and, since we are basically mirrors for each other, I find it better to take breaks to assimilate and integrate learning from people now!

Makes for a smoother journey in the long run.

They say change takes time. This is probably why. But I also think we have to let go of stuff to move to different ways of being so there's a grieving process as well. Even if we want to change. Natural part of it and that takes time. Always.

COME! :D

Even we want to change, brain is resistant to it (that's what my yoga instructor teaches me), once again everything takes time, grief is part of it and very important one.

Time cures everything.... 🍀

That is does.

And I learned that learning to wait is a skill :)
