Resurface

“Octopi” Series by Ivy Kirzhner, Barcelona, Spain.

Nearly a year since I first entered a very dark realm so foreign to me. A new territory consisted of oppressively dark murky waters that can easily suck away the vibrance and vitality of even the shiniest and brightest stars.  The navigation can be daunting. This is the place I had to settle in, and it shook the very foundations of my nature, taking adaptation to new heights.  A place where I had constantly challenged the very principles and concepts its culture was based upon.  It is a concept that had not been put into personal practice or belief in the last 14 years, though often a source of intrigue and curiosity. 

Singledom.

It was a great means for self-exploration; an avenue for a different kind of wisdom and re-evaluation of one’s sense of self had presented itself only to make proper use of, in hopes that one day questions about finding true happiness can be defined - and finally answered. 

This past year was all about growth, understanding and awareness.  Thus, I learned.

The journey has finally come to an end. 

I can now resurface.   And breathe…. steady, hopeful and much deeply in love.
