Synchronicities Keep On Coming!
Thank you, Casira Copes for yet another confirmation from Universe!

When something is toxic, you need to get it out of your life — immediately. The word is synonymous with “poison” for a reason. It has connotations of abuse and severe harm, with dictionary definitions that include words and phrases like “insidious” and “extremely harsh.”
I had long forgotten and, therefore, became complacent about being in abusive relationships. 2021 has been a reminder and not a gentle one at that. I was knee deep into before I saw it for what it was.
Abuse.
No one ever need make skin-to-skin contact with you in order to do you harm. Sometimes psychological and emotional damage can be just as bad, if not worse in some ways. Why?
Those punches no one ever sees.
They leave no cuts, abrasions, marks, or bruises. None that appear to the naked eye, anyway. The person sitting right beside you at this moment could be in an abusive relationship and you’d never know it.
I have found myself of late in two abusive relationships. I’ve severed ties with the one and am working my way out of the other. In the meantime I have started doing things I haven’t done since my 20s which has been quite some time ago.
I’ve been hoping and planning.
At 58 I think I’m finally done with being a rolling stone. I’ve taken steps into looking for a house. Yes, a house. Something I haven’t wanted for 30 years. I’ve loved not being tied down and being able to move on a moment’s notice to a new town, a new state or even a new time zone.
But now I’m ready to settle down. Took long enough, eh? My body is beat up and I’m worn out. I’m ready to slow my roll at this point. I’d still like to get my high-top, extended cargo van and convert it to an RV for one, so I’m not done rolling altogether. But I would like to finally set down some roots, buy furniture, “nest”, and set up my home recording studio.
Yes, another dream of mine, yet unfulfilled. I want to get back into voice work. I want to embed my Medium masterpieces with my pipes. I want to record my ebooks on Amazon. I’d like to rent my vocals out to others for their audio projects.
So no, I’m not ready to roll over and die just yet. I just want a solid foundation to dream a little dream…
Which brings me back to the opening statement made by Casira. Get rid of the toxicity in your life and give some CPR to those dreams of yours. There are still there!
While my piece didn’t follow the same path as Casira’s it was my inspiration. You can read her piece in its entirely here.
