Are you ready?

Woke up to these words whispering from my soul today: "Are you ready?". My response: "YES".

I've always been a loner. Never quite fitting in anywhere. Always feeling awkward around others. There are all kinds of fancy diagnoses for people who don't quite connect with the untruths that are taught to us from the time we are children. A label to ensure that you don't figure out what that restless feeling is that you carry around. We all carry around.

My past is complicated. It had to be, so that I could experience deep deep hurt and pain. Also so that I could experience deep deep love and joy. Both of these are necessary on the journey to finding one's soul. And neither were done by God, but by the free will we have as a species. 

A person grappling with their own misunderstandings of their soul's purpose, hurt me.
A person wanting to light my path's journey to my soul's purpose, loved me.
I made choices that brought good or bad karma into my life.
We all made choices that brought good or bad karma into our world.

I am not a perfect being. I am an imperfect self made being who tries really hard to listen to her soul. This is not an easy thing to do with all the noisy distractions in life. The soul whispers while everything else roars. 

As I put the final touches on what will encompass the next 30 or so years of my life, I am grateful. I am at peace. I am ready. <3
