My first blog post… it’s so strange how something unknown to me, seems so familiar. I am excited to start sharing myself with the world, through this page. Sharing my light (and at times, darkness), is very important to me. I know there are people out there who are feeling the exact same things that I am, so who am I to not share my experiences and hopefully make someone feel a little less lonely? I understand how draining it can feel to be a moonchild, rainbow child, metaphysical, etc., but it’s also beautiful. Even if you don’t identify with any of those terms, everyone has a story to be told. Here’s mine:

Since I was a child, I have experienced an isolation. An isolation from other people, at times from myself, and from everything around me. I have always felt a distant from everything, but on the other hand, too connected. I am an empath, so I feel things very deeply. It is astonishing and confusing how one can be so connected, and yet so distant, all at once. As I grew older, I became less and less connected to myself, and everyone else. I now realize this was a trauma response, but even so, it has been a difficult trip trying to regain myself and regain my emotions. Throughout my adolescent years, I felt absolutely nothing. Believe it or not, those years were not the darkest. The most dim my spirit has ever been, was when I started to feel for the first time in years. When I was about 17 years old, I came to the decision that I wanted to feel something. I became more connected to myself, but less connected to other people. Now, I still feel the disconnect, but it’s getting easier as time goes on, to let myself feel. Finding myself has been a journey. I’m not done, and I doubt I ever will be. Every day, I find out something new about myself, and I find that exciting. I am forever evolving, and I have no idea what life has in store for me, but whatever it is, I’m ready.

Namaste, -Teal Brooke✨
