Why Should I See It?

To see something means 
you CAN do something about it. 
You don’t have to. 
But seeing it at all 
gives you the chance to choose. 
To see is a higher level of Being. 
Because it hurts. 
You see  
And someone else… doesn’t. 
And there’s nothing you can do about it. 
You can’t change someone else. 
It’s already hard enough 
to do it for yourself. 
Changing someone else? 
Simply impossible. 
You can’t change them 
or anything in them. 
Only they have that power. 
And yet – how often do we use our energy 
to make someone see, 
regret, 
learn, 
apologise? 
None of that ever happens. 
Will you keep shooting 
or blind yourself instead? 

To see is to give yourself a Choice. 
Do I accept it?
To see is also to give yourself a Choice
– that I don’t want to see.

But then… you can’t grow. 
You stay stuck at the level 
where you’re already getting bored 
but you’re afraid the light might wipe you out. 
The light will show you the way – 
how to go through it 
with eyes wide open. 
Phoenix. 
You’re reborn every time 
you face your forgotten truth. 
Stronger. 
Braver. 

Is it easy to walk around for two days 
feeling like an orphan? 
If you’ve just uncovered a buried truth 
and said goodbye to the mother 
you waited 30 years for 
in the hallway of your childhood home? 
No. 
Sometimes it’s hard. 
But it didn’t kill me. 
It gave me the strength 
to go get myself — 
right there, 
in the depths of my old wounds. 

Why did I need to know? 
So I could finally stop 
waiting. 
Subconsciously, how many of us 
are still waiting 
for one of our Parents? 
So many. 
We walk around pretending to be adults 
while deep down 
we’re just waiting 
for someone to finally hold us, 
for God’s sake. 
But no one is coming. 
Uau. 
Now that’s a discovery. 
And that happened to me…? 
Yes. 
It did. 
I was speechless when I found out. 
How did I know? 
My tears ran like crazy. 
How could I take full responsibility 
for my life? 
How could I fully step into my life? 
– when my Inner Little Girl 
was still sobbing in that hallway… 

That’s why I go inward. 
To get myself. 
Today — I go for me. 
And I come back stronger every time. 
Because each time, 
I’m more whole. 
Each time, 
more complete. 
Is it easy to walk around for a week 
feeling like a lost child? 
No. 


But it’s necessary – 
so I never again return 
to that same place. 

It’s like those sad-angry love songs. 
“You f***ing b*tch, I’m so over you, 
but pleeeeease come baaaack ou ou ou…” 
Has the songwriter really moved on?
Well… nope. 
If in your thoughts 
you still go back to something 
in pain or anger — 
then it’s not behind you. 
You’re still dragging it along. 
And unless you sit with it – 
Alone. 
And feel it – 
It’ll keep going until you die. 

So I ask again: 
Is it hard to face those emotions 
to say goodbye for good 
and move forward 
in greater lightness? 
A little bit, yes. 
But it’s worth everything. 
Our freedom. 
Letting go. 
Space to finally breathe with ease… 

All of it is worth the time 
to sort out our life 
and … live 🙂

ACCEPTANCE – THE KEY TO LETTING GO

Why is it so hard to do it? Because we don’t want to accept the fact — that hurts. We juggle with…
