I want to write a small introduction about myself. (English is not my mother tongue by the way.)
I approach life with curiosity and I look at the world with childlike admiration. My desire to understand humanity and life is insatiable.
I can finally say that I am happy, as unfinished as I am, and feeling self-love and compassion towards myself, on this journey of growth, here and now. That’s a lot to say considering where I am coming from.
My own path of spiritual growth actually started at the end of 2016, when a long-term relationship ended in a breakup. At that time, my first aha experience, in my life experiences up until that point, was getting to know the life traps.
Since then, I have done a lot of work with myself, to heal my emotional wounds. I have come a long way in peeling the onion, mainly thanks to introspection and my thirst for knowledge and understanding, but the journey on my own has certainly been a long one, and of course it is never really over.
The corona lockdown was a shock that shook my own inner world, which plunged me into quite a bit of mental chaos, but with it, I also got much deeper in my self-examination. At the same time, the dark night of the soul also began and in some point during that period I was literally on the verge of burnout. I got back on my feet with time and without external help. That’s probably because the reasons were on the too burdensome circumstances and I didn’t end up to be completely burnt out. During that time of the dark night of the soul, I often thought that there is no meaning in this life, when it only feels like a joyless surviving and stressful performance every day.
After the dark night of the soul, my spiritual development has taken on a huge leap. The amount of understanding and learning that I have gained about myself in recent years is difficult to describe in words. Of course it has given me plenty of understanding towards the humanity too.
As the circumstances began to improve one by one and my own life started to feel easier, my joy in life began to return and a deep calling to have a deeper meaning in life began to emerge. I never really knew what I wanted to be when I grew up.
I now get to enjoy this deeper meaning in life through volunteering and the company I have established with my friend recently. Maybe I’ll tell you more about the story behind these events later.
I still don’t quite know where my path will lead, but I sure am eager to follow it! I feel it has a lot to do with how I have turned my own difficulties into a source of strength, and I feel a calling to share my experiences and what I have learned. By doing so, I perhaps can also be of help to others.
Now I feel that I am finally moving towards my own vocation and following my soul’s path.
Thanks for reading. ☺
