Yup. Life rarely ever goes according to plan anyway — it’s the ego’s way of feeling in control, which is an illusion.

I'm so happy Substack suggested this Post!! I don't believe any one else has captured so beautifully what my current life experience feels like. I feel me in my future and she is delicious, too. Your writing is sensational. Thank you.

Giselle, I'm crying tears of resonance over here. 😭 DANG. As a fellow MG, you've just inspired me to the max. I see a lot of myself in your words, so thank you for reflecting that back to me through your own experiences and perspective.

As a manifesting generator learning to live with sacral response, i loved it so so much. Every word was almost like a stranger because i havent lived like this before, but also the kind I wanna fall in love with? If you know what I mean! LOVE IT.

I feel this so deeply. I recently started to give myself anxiety about not having long term goals mapped out 5-10 yrs from now. Yet, I have this deep knowing that it’ll all work out and whatever I’m meant to do, I will. And it won’t be because I force a timeline on myself versus just being present. Things align the most when I don’t think too hard but just move with intention. This was such a good read that I def needed!

"Just move with intention" this is it isn't it. Sometimes all we can control within the sea of uncertainty.

This really encapsulates how I feel about the future. It’s funny cause I actually have a Substack about this, but I always hate when I get the question of what I’m going to do in five years. It’s always shifting and changing, so I feel like it’s unfair to demand a definite future plan out of anyone. I wonder what’s with this obsession of knowing what’s ahead? I’d love to tell them “I have no idea, I’ll just go with whatever I feel like at the moment”.

It's such an impossible question to answer! It's ever evolving and that makes it exciting! I'd love to read your piece on this too! Thank you for being here

Expand full comment

Yeah, it makes me feel like I have some control over my life because I can change my future course whenever I feel like doing something different. Also, my piece is called a soliloquy on the future if you want to check it out

This left me speechless. Wow. So much that I’ve been contemplating around this topic. Thank you🌀

The spiral emoji is exactly this isn't it. Never a linear path 💕

I LOVED reading this. As someone who is super type A and a planner working to shift to someone who listens to her body and intuition and “flows” more, I was so grateful to read that it IS possible to shift.

Thank you so much for resting your truth down here. The balance of both is everything isn't it. I've had to do so much work to knowing when and how to act instead of not acting at all 💕

This was such an amazing read!! Your POV is such an important share for so many people. Keep on shining:)

I love who you are! So free! I think people who don't have children are very smart. It changes your freedom completely.

I wish I was as optimistic about the future as you are. Keep writing and inspiring. ❤️💋

Appreciate your insights as ever Karen, that word freedom is such a complex one isn't it! Have been sitting with all the definitions of it recently. Thank you for being here 💕

There’s a space for visualisation and thinking of what’s next, but on some level, where we are now, is where we once yearned to be, so we must be in it. I chose to be in it. -

This is so true. I often forget that sometimes I prayed for these quiet times.
