Non-attachment

28 februari 2019 - Siem Reap, Cambodja

I have sought home within others for as long as I can remember. At the same time, I have always had a mystifying obsession for freedom. Looking back, I see unrequited love as well as an inner indecisiveness. Every time I loved, I loved hard. Be that as it may, the same amount of love was not remotely reflected back to me. Whenever it was my turn to be loved, I distanced myself or was ever unsure. 
My mother once told me how she believes I will grow old by myself; happy regardless. She might very well be right. It was when I started seeking home within myself, everything fell into its place. I learned how to truly love, by loving me. It has brought my mind, body and soul at long last peace. 
I understand I have to take full responsibility and ownership of my life. I realize identifying with the mind will cause needs and wants to arise. In reality, there is nothing I need or want. I have found that there is nothing external that can make me more complete than I already am. I still can enjoy the excitement brought by external factors, but this will not make me dependent.
Being separated from my loved ones, the deceased and the living, I have the choice to either miss them, or to honour the memory of them by being at total peace with where I am. I choose the latter, and therefore I am always home.

    ❤❤❤ Als je van jezelf houdt ben je nooit alleen. Ieder ander in je leven is dan een mooie en soms (meer dan) welkome aanvulling ❤🌷❤

    "I have found that there is nothing external that can make me more complete than I already am."

    I'm sure every person that gets to know you tries or will try to defy you. And this might be the most perfect annotation of that which we we've all tried to put in context.

    Hope life's treating you well.
