Human

My mind didn’t leave Canada until about 3pm on the third day. Relationship stress consumed me, and no not just the romantic kind. I believe the single most important emotion in our lives is feeling loved, cared for, and nurtured, and it starts with the self, then family and close friends or a romantic partner, and finally work colleagues and the community as a whole.

I’ve been at battle with these demons for a long time; my life fluctuates between depression and feeling connected and loved. The connections seem to always be fleeting though and my heart breaks more every time the hope of love is torn away, of course it’s clear that I’m trying to build connections on a foundation of sand while standing over a fault line: where is the self love?

How do I start? Again, I mean… because no this is not new. I’m terribly human, and this path of yoga and teaching yoga has made me hyper aware of that. I’ve heard of some people standing in front of mirrors focusing on themselves with love in their heart and I’ve heard of people quitting their jobs and only doing what they love… but come on now, a girls gotta eat…. The trip to Mexico was good for me, albeit about 360 days to short. I’m excited to come back here and spend time with more of the same people or maybe some new students, sharing, and connecting in this human experience and yoga.
