The beauty of detatchment…

Lately I’ve been feeling a very foreign sensation; a little out of sorts and somewhat untethered. As a result, an upheaval of sorts has meandered through my “familiar” way of being - turning many things on their head.

At first I was concerned and began searching for the cause (and solution) to this unsettling feeling. But the more I poked and prodded, the more I got quiet and sat in conversation with this feeling, I came to realize it was not something to resolve. Going back to my previous baseline is not what is being asked of me.

The longer I’ve sat in this unfamiliar energy, I’ve come to realize that what I perceived to be apathy or disconnection - is actually detachment, in which lies a quiet comfort. A sense of freedom interwoven with peace.

Rather than push myself back into the confines of attachment’s grip - chasing after the next thing “guaranteed” to bring me happiness and finally provide a sense of “security” - perhaps there is room to just be. To familiarize myself with who I am when I’m not striving / reaching for the next goal. Who am I when I’m not waiting for the next milestone on my path? What riches lie in wait for me when I shift my focus from what is yet to come - to what is here, now?

The only thing I know at present, is that I’m going to do my best to find out.

I share this in hopes that anyone feeling similarly, knows they’re not alone. In a world where everyone filters what they share to only show the highlight reel - I find it increasingly important to share more transparently ♥️
