Life Lately
I last posted about finding balance and I think I’m getting the hang of it whilst also hanging on to the cusp of it. There was a period of domino effect in terms of life lifing and some shocking personal events that changed my perspective on life. Life is short. And it must be lived. Truly. Authentically. Happily. There’s always a silver lining amidst sad news regarding people I love. In a way, I feel it’s truly all guided. Leading up to this point and a bit after, I had an awful bout of lack of sleep, running on less than six hours and energy drinks. Awful, I know.. but I’m hopeful this month going forward will be the month of deep slumber and restoration.
I’m currently focusing on better sleep, more adventures, more creativity, more ambition for my personal goals for the rest of the year and I have been getting back to lifting in the gym. Movement, prayer and meditation will always bring me solace beyond comprehension. So it’s something I must continue with my rituals and routines.
Tomorrow is an exciting day. I get three more meaningful tattoos to continue the leg sleeves and I am finally starting driving lessons after months of no luck finding an instructor! Admittingly, I didn’t like Cornwall when I first moved two years ago. Expensive to say the least, train prices are a rip off, people are isolated, there’s a rarity in the most profound connections, dreadful weather.. you name it. But I realised I needed a car for work and travel and my soul needed to ascend. As I’ve been working on myself, my energy and aura has become magnetic, more soul aligned individuals have brightened up my life and I’m finding I am falling a bit in love with Cornwall.
The nature is beautiful, people are kind, it has a notion of the art of slowing down, it’s so healing, has great vegan food, has wonderful opportunities both in and out of work and has a vibrant artistic flair nestled in places I can unleash my own into. I keep getting inspired. And I’ve never had so many spiritual experiences in such a short amount of time. There’s something about it; almost like an energetic magnetic field of abundance for those who wish to seek it.
July is jam packed with beauty. I go back home to London for my mother’s birthday and brothers 21st. I can squeeze my best friends and family and enjoy some well deserved rest. I am grateful. So grateful. I’ve dreamed my life as it is for so long and finally am living it. The dark days were all worth it and I endeavour to continue to create and continue to be happy as I nurture and nourish myself. My inner child deserves it after years of struggle, sadness and a trauma. So if you feel like you’re not enough or your life isn’t what you want currently, keep going. Never stop dreaming. Never stop hustling. Manifestation is real. So make the vision boards and keep affirming. Your time will come. I promise.
Love, Imi x
