A love letter to my 37 year old liberated self
Self liberation to me is to embark on a mission to break free from social conditioning to live one’s own unique truth.
The definition of social conditioning is:
‘The sociological process of training individuals in a society to act or respond in a manner generally approved by the society in general and peer groups within society. The concept is stronger than that of socialization, which refers to the process of inheriting norms, customs and ideologies.’
This is an anecdotal and declarative love letter sharing a liberatingly definitive year of going my own way, making my own rules to live by, and celebrating all of the things that my peers and society might never celebrate in me. This is a love letter to the year that I stood in new beliefs and ideologies that cultivated feelings of deep self belonging and true happiness. This is a love letter to myself for the year I chose to go all in on an existence that is wholly based on radical self permission to live my truth. May it inspire you to live yours.
FULL MOON IN AQUARIUS-AN IDEAL IS AN IDEA THAT BECAME REAL
There are so many themes attached to each astrological archetype. The one that my airy libran mind is connecting to most on this Aquarius full moon is the concept of idealism…
…I refuse to believe that idealism is an unrealistic romantic notion. I believe idealism puts visionary and necessary possibilities in motion. I refuse to believe that collective healing is not possible. My soul is just not built this way.
Heartfelt care for each other will unlock joy By Issey Scott
With Cancer sun season being a time that illuminates themes around care, and Leo season on the horizon that embraces joy, this feels like an apt moment to reflect on both of these terms. Of course, we cannot help but frame these terms in the current moment of a pandemic, where these words have been used perhaps more than ever to describe our needs as a society and as individuals. ‘Care’ and ‘joy’ are certainly buzzwords, and often ones which are so excessively used that we do not stop to think about what they mean, and how integral they are to the human experience.
