Gasping For Air

It's been a few weeks since I've taken a moment to breath. To reflect. To write.
Work is piling up quickly, just like all the thoughts in my head,
building and building until it becomes unmanageable.
I have to take better care of myself.
The other day, during a rare moment of relaxation, I suddenly gasped for air.
I felt like I was drowning and finally reached the surface for air.
It was so strange and scary. I've never felt that kind of panic before,
and I've had anxiety off and on for years.
I felt like I had died for a second and suddenly came back for one more try.
One more desperate attempt to get it right, not ready to call it quits.
It had me in such terror for days, afraid to go to sleep, worrying if I will wake up or not.
What's wrong with me?
I work really hard at what I do. I love what I do.
But maybe it is consuming me.
Or is it something else altogether?
I need to take a moment to breath,
so I'm not gasping for air, unexpectedly.

Day 1 of Denial: Spiritual Journey

 So, I was just thinking about something. You know how there's this strange phenomenon where a woman wants to be pregnant so badly and believes so much that she is or will be, she starts experiencing physical signs and symptoms of being pregnant, though there is no baby? Do you think that works for spiritual awakenings & this so-called Twin Flame, soul connection, whatever the fuck you want to refer to it? So you start experiencing all these emotional and physical symptoms that can only be explained by being a Divine experience? I've had my doubts since day 1. I have believed myself to be on a Spiritual journey since I was like 5, though I never called it that, of course. I had no clue what it was I was feeling. I just knew Jesus & Angels were with me & I was trying to be "good." That worked out pretty well for a while, but into my teens & then especially after a certain relationship was basically liquid shit, burning up and deteriorating my mental sta...

No Matter What

 I'm a bit dramatic. Irrational, unexplainable, never ending feelings can make a person seem that way. I actually understand everything I've been going through, spiritually, but I always question why. Espeically if I'm just going to stay stuck forever, not moving forward quickly enough. The intensity of my feelings change on the daily. I'm diving deep into them though. If I can't change it or explain it or truly express it in a physical way, I'll express it in a way that might seem over the top or off the deep end, but this is about me & my spiritual journey (I know I said I don't believe but God said "fuck you don't!" I'll explain later. Maybe.)  This is about my spiritual journey & my own development. If I'm doing it alone, I'm doing it alone. Most cowards always remain cowards. Maybe they eventually awaken. I don't know. I'm not forcing my will on anyone. I'm focused on me. I'm processing my journey throug...

Day 2 of Denial: Spiritual Journey & Kundalini Awakening

I was having this internal dialog and making myself feel like a fool...imaging conversations I'll never have. And I just told myself, alright, enoughj. This is me, letting this shit go. I've got to. It's not benefiting me in any way. I ask myself quite often "what am I gaining from this pattern of obsession that I've gotten myself in." I honestly don't know. I used to do it for the writing inspiration I drew from it. But that was stolen from me. I mentioned in my last post about people being basically pawns of darkness, used to knock me off course. I understand how my words might trigger certain people. Words carry any energy of their own. If you believe in the Law of Attraction, you know that. I believe it. But my words tend to carry a certain darkness or sadness in them that doesn't exactly attract the things I want to me. But I write what I feel. I was seriously planning to let it go. Today, I actually felt like my attempt at denying that what I...
