The art of.....letting go

 




I renovated the house and it was quite a process. After the furniture arrived, I had to think how will I style the objects. It was easy in rearranging the books in the library, but I needed to add my personal touch. I enjoy having this intimate light, so I bought several rush holders. As I went through my personal things, I found some pictures from different stages of life. I decided to frame them so I found two golden picture frames from Zara. I just fell in love of how they were looking and their versatility. 

There is only one small thing I forgot to mention. Sometimes I have two left hands and I break things. At that time, I was just hoping that the set-up will last forever. Three months later, I was cleaning the small library and I broke on of the picture frame. I was so pissed of about it. My first reaction was to throw the broken picture frame and go to Zara Home to buy another one, which I did. I got my decor back and I was all happy and chill. A year after this event, it happen again. I was cleaning the house when the frame fell from the shelf and broke into pieces. I got upset and pissed of. Meanwhile, my mom called me and this is what we talked:

Mom: Hi, How are you?
Me: Hi. I am upset. I broke again the Zara picture frame. 
Mom: I hope you are not going out to buy another one?! It seems like the picture frame had it's time in your house. It just doesn't belong there. Besides, it is the third or fourth time when you are trying to make this arrangement work. 
Me: OK. I'll see what I will do.  Let's talk later. Bye bye
Mom: Bye Bye

Although, the discussion was related to an ordinary object, it made think of all my relationships. It is hard to accept that stages in our relationships or even relationships are over and we need to transform the emotion. Some people come into our life to teach us life lessons and then move away from us like the objects we lose. A white space is created for new things or people to come. At the beginning we only feel the pain, the disappointment, then the acceptance and later on the happiness and gratitude for the experience. 

We forget that everything's happening for our Greater Good. Maybe next time when you go through a loss, you just act with gratitude towards the experience and thing of the bright experiences that will come.

HOME

       There has been so much going on in the last two weeks that I am not sure how to tell it to you. I went on two hikes both quite difficult while I was discovering so much about myself. On May Day, we started our trip to Brasov from Bucharest. On our way to what would be our home for a couple of days, we stopped at my mom's place. The entire time I felt like I am going home, home in a spiritual way. I felt so much gratitude for everything and everyone. This comes from a person that would only dream of feeling this.      Four years ago I was in a relationship with a person who would reflect every pain I have. I still remember to this day that we were gathered in his kitchen, his mom and dad and us. He was comfortably staying on the sofa, while I was discussing with his mom in his kitchen. I have it graved in my memories when he told smiling: " We are alike. You are a runaway. The only difference between you and I is that you also physically runaway ...

Love and growth

           I've been thinking for a while in writing about relationships. What I can tell you is that I never had an example of a healthy relationship in my entire family. I don't mention my parents relationship as they were not able to reach agreement on joint custody and visiting hours. I also mention the extended family.  I've been raised by a single parent and the hardships of a relationship were hidden from my eyes.           My friends mentioned to me that I am the Creator of my relationships and I can build what I call "my perfect relationship". My friend also mentioned that I am not able  to request from my partner what I am not and that I will need to work out on my fears, traumas etc. It happens that my partner will trigger all my traumas while he will create the space to heal. There will be a dance between us.       What my friends were saying at that time seemed otherworldly, but their words...

Renting my baby

           I've been going through a lot of changes and challenges lately. As I moved in autumn at my boyfriend's place, I kept for a while my place free. Almost one year. This winter I paid utilities almost 100 EUR, which I found quite a lot for a house I don't live in. I discussed with my boyfriend to take all my precious books from there and have a space dedicated in his house.              Beside the logistics of moving my library to my boyfriends house, I also needed to handle a lot of documents so that I can officially be the administrator. This is the house I renovated. I was thought it is important because I chose every piece of material with my hand. I went two or three times to the stores so that I can decide on the type of sandstone I want. I watched two times the documentaries related on interior design on Netflix just to think to the flow I want to have in the room.          ...
