Let Them

Published March 9, 2025 by tindertender

People you ache for will reject you
Let them

People are going to show you
with their actions
the painful reality of who they are
Let them

People are going to violate
your boundaries
and then blame you
Let them

People are going to believe
their own version of who you are
despite truth or facts
Let them

People are going to misunderstand
misalign and malign you
Let them

I know it’s agony
to allow false stories
to take center stage
rather than truth
but let them

This way lies power
and healing and self-reclamation

The energy you were spending to gain
approval, inclusion, validation
is a false-belonging wound
that’s bleeding you dry

Warning:
To “Let Them”
requires many
stops
and
starts

Stop
the hemorrhage
of explaining

Stop
the frazzle
of justifying

Stop swallowing
the slow-killing poison
of defending

Stop striving, earning, performing

Stop telling yourself
you need their back-breaking
version of love
or understanding

Stop allowing their judgement
to injure your self-love

Take a breath

Dare
to fill your lungs
with something other than
anxiety

Exhale
diminishment

Inhale
expansion

Now start

Start
seeking inside you
the thing that you
always wanted from them

Start
owning all your truth
the beauties
and the beastly
daring to embrace it all

Start
delighting in the wonder of you
as vast as a moon-sky blanket
and dazzling
as a starlit circus

Start
healing the fracture
of your tender fierce heart
gluing and gilding
the jagged edges
with the 24 karat courage

Forgive yourself
for mistaking them
for your power source

The day you start
giving yourself
the love
you wanted from them
is the first day of your freedom

A sky walker once said,
“We’re all living in cages
with the doors wide open.”

You, little songbird, deserve to be free

Take wing from the prison
of your thoughts

You’ll soar

They’ll criticize

Let them

HOLDING YOU

Published February 15, 2025 by tindertender

If they love you, they love every memory of you,
Each wrinkle, a chapter to feel.
If they love you they love you in present and past,
They will kiss all the hurt till it heals.

If they love you, each scar becomes who you are;
A page in your story of life.
For love doesn’t see; it feels deep within;
Love doesn’t cut like a knife.

Love doesn’t see imperfections,
It only feels where love can grow.
Love doesn’t go for the taking;
Love is the give and the show.

Each weight we hold onto in whispers
Can lift like a feather in flight,
If we trust in all our imperfect
And balance each dark with the light.

Be love, no secret disguises;
Embrace every reason you lack;
For love can never find you
If you’re hiding behind your own back.

Love doesn’t see you as flawless;
It sees you imperfectly planned.
Love will love you completely
When you reach out and hold your own hand.

So love you, love every memory of you,
Each wrinkle, each chapter; just feel.
Love all you are in present and past,
For your love is your love to heal.

Shifting Gears

Published February 2, 2025 by tindertender

If you have some haters

Their connection with you is based on their hatred

If you are connected to them

This does not mean that your connection with them must be based on your hatred

For example

You can consciously choose to use their hatred to remind you of self-love

Be the person nobody was prepared to deal with.

———————————

When some people resonate with your unhealed wound

The moment you heal this wound

Your relationship with them naturally weakens

Finally, you will be on a different timeline from them

Therefore, as you continue to heal, be grateful and cherish your time with them

———————————

As you continue to grow

Some people around you won’t handle your changes well

They will cling to their familiar and outdated image of you

They may even attack you because of fear

It’s okay

Because this is natural and normal

Be compassionate and give them time to adapt

Despite the Odds

Published January 24, 2025 by tindertender

Fear doesn’t rule here.
“Be Bold”, spirit says.
Show your Love for the Highest and Brightest God who gave you Life despite challenges meant to end it.
LIVE
LOVE
LAUGH
… Anyway …

When God has kept you alive, despite the odds, one really has no choice but to move forward courageously, despite the risk … Blind faith looks like insanity when you keep going regardless of threat. How can one stop, shrink, play small, when God has shown how great He is?

When I think of “being a light” in the world, I envision my front porch light. I see the moths, the flies, and whatever else coming to the light, bouncing off the bulb, burning themselves, probably secretly cussing the heat of the light for burning it every time it bounces upon it. I think of the spiders casting their webs there, catching some of these tasty morsels. The webs and the dead bodies pile up and every so often, I have to sweep the environment of this carnage.

I think of my body, the bright light people claim to see and be drawn to. I think of the bitterness some spew, the deadly, energetic intention sent my way. Those who wish to devour me, hating me because they keep hurting themselves bumping into me, yet they can’t seem to help it, or stop. They demand I dim my light, or that I stop shining altogether.

Occasionally, I have to sweep my environment … on the regular, actually.

It is said, the higher you rise, the greater and scarier the boogeyman gets. It is true. Life is a spiral, ever rising higher and circling wider as the flow goes. There are those who wish for the rise to be a fall, where the circles made are small, limited.

These ones are very skilled and quite determined to retain their authority. They are no newby when it comes to silencing a challenger, or anyone who dare be a bird, rather than a worm.

Expansion is scary. The soul-eater is frightful … it is so much worse than anyone can imagine. Yet how can I shrink, when He who has gifted me life, to be here now, is offering opportunity I cannot fathom the greatness of, yet know exists?

Reminder to the Energies Standing Tall now, in me, and elsewhere ::
Drink your water.
Sing the song.
Dance the dance.
Cry the tears.
Tell the Most High, as you know it to be, your fears.
Let Him carry the burden and provide a solution.
It is seen and known.
The answers, aren’t always …

Alignment.
The shattering of the heart.
The expansion necessary, gained, when put back together.
Like the Japanese cups that break, repaired with gold,
You become more beautiful every time you drop,
And gain substance in the structure, as gold mends the connections.

Courage does not come easy.
It must be fortified in the mind,
Layered in the heart, filling the Soul.
That loving cup isn’t going to fill itself,
And those intent on your suffering won’t let another fill it for you,
For too long anyhow, before dropping you again.

Soul’s Freedom in Love ~ Sweet Release

Published January 22, 2025 by tindertender

Forgiveness became easier for me when I included the idea of release. To forgive yet remain in the midst of abuse is difficult. Release is the only way. But with love, for self, and the other. Love enough to make the change so that hurtful energy between self and others is no longer generated. Inner harmony is allowed to exist. It’s a gift. To self.

The apology needs to be as loud as the disrespect.

If you don’t have control over yourself, it means someone else has control over you. Shadow work. Whatcha doin’? You avoiding the inner work, the re-creation of Self? Release drama and trauma. Let it go. There are endless potentialities awaiting.

A lot of people are focused outward, not inward.
Many have never really sat alone with Self long enough to settle.

What do you do when you’re surrounded by people who hate you?
You give them cause.
Be happy anyway.
Be love anyway.

Freedom includes the freedom to be who we are, not who the other wants us to be. ~BMM

Don’t let those who have not awakened their psychic senses convince you that you do not have them. This is all real. You are not crazy. Many people experience what you experience and do not know how to language it either. 🙏

“My soul is my friend who consoles me In misery and distress of life. He who does not befriend his soul is an enemy to humanity… Life emerges from within and not from environs.” ~ Khalil Gibran

You don’t put fire out with fire, you put it out with water.
You dear one are 75% water.
The power to put the fire of corruption out is within you.
More importantly, you are the Phoenix who will rise out of the ashes.

Historical Manipulation

Published January 16, 2025 by tindertender

Knowing what I know of the stories they’ve spun about ME, I no longer give much energy to dogmatic stories about anyone in history, of blind acceptance and need for hatred, hating the Light in Life which surrounds me.

Open mind.

Open heart.

This persons videos are very interesting. Food for thought …
