By the end of last year my whole life was an entirely shattered mess. Being faced with direct rejection by this visa refusal was deconstructing a lot of my fundamental beliefs. I was questioning myself entirely: my talents, my behaviour, my goals, the acutal meaning of life. But: The magic is in the mess! I managed to rearrange beliefs and step by step built a new and way more stable fundament of myself. I started to acknowledge and process a big trauma being caused by adoption at the age of 4. I started to be brutally honest by admitting flaws and shifting perspective of how my life is meant to be. I was looking for happiness in other places and in other people. I ended up finding it inside of myself. I am so grateful this visa refusal forced me to not being able to escape from all of this. I am so grateful to everyone guiding me through this by just making me smile, by appreciating me for who I am, by encouraging me to unravel, by triggering me so badly so I got in touch with my worst fears and boundaries, by remembering me to stand up for myself, by encouraging to continue this process whenever I was about to quit, by supporting me to own my story. Freedom is being able to choose who we want to be, after leaving fears and deconstructive beliefs behind. It feels like I made a big step towards freedom. #courageovercomfort #alleskannnichtsmuss #gooutandplay #nomudnolotus #brokebuthappy #spiritualgangster #shiftyourshit (hier: Florentin, Tel Aviv) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq49xB-HuQo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1js6x5rzid2e2
