It would be such a loss if you're so well aware of your clan but yet haven't found your tribe. To know of my blood and of my ancestors would indeed connect the origin of my earthly existence but am I not a soul more than this frail body made of flesh, blood and bones? I've seen my caravan moving, my soul tribe, like wanderers in the desert as it may appear to the on-lookers, awake through the nights, lost by the hours of day, deep in their contemplation, love running through their nerves, their every pulse reverberating in fervour, lips sealed in silence but yet when their words leave their mouths it will be as splendid as a waterfall, soulful in each breath, they're like the very song of this universe - how could i ever be deaf to it or not sway to its rhythm. Their existence is what makes me smile from ear to ear, their existence is what makes me fall prostrate on earth in gratitude. My heart's revival and my soul's nourishment comes through my tribe, the caravan of lovers, and by the spark in their spirits, I light up my world...

We are all made of stardust.

Sometimes when we meet someone our stardust recognizes theirs.

Our dust had meet before. Dancing around each other, neighbors in space.

Those people are special.

They may not be in your life forever but they will be important for however long they are.

They can be friends, family, lovers, maybe even strangers that you only see once.

Starmates.

We, however, came from the same star.

#I was telling someone my starmates theory #and they said we must have come from the same star #I almost cried #I’ve been missing connection for so long #and now I’m finding them #find your tribe #find your starmates #poetry

You are not evolved to live the way current society is forcing you to

You were evolved to live in a loving community/tribe of people you all knew by name

Whom you would talk to and eat all your meals with every day

Whom you would sing, dance and joke around with regularly

Whom you could seek guidance and comfort from when dealing with grief or other big life events

They would help you. They would check in on you to see if you need them, and you with them

Where the tasks are shared so you don't have to do everything on your own to keep yourself alive, like we do now

The mental load would be much lighter

The reason why you are so depressed, anxious and feeling unsafe all the time is because your very being at its core aches so deeply for the tribe

It's what your entire nervous system so desperately craves and needs

You have to realise that in reality, you are still an animal. You have deep ancient instincts that drive you

And these instincts are sensing that the conditions you currently live under are not actually keeping you safe, fulfilled or healthy

People spiral into self destruction so easily these day because there is no tribe checking in on them

They find all kinds of destructive self sabotaging coping mechanisms where the love and support of the tribe should have been

And other people are too busy surviving under the current system as well. They don't have a moment to breathe and think about what's going on

This is why I'm doing what I'm doing

If we want to thrive, we have to return to the tribe

Now swallow your pride and don't be a coward.

Go find yours, ask around in spaces that attract people like you, post online to find likeminded people near you, it's not as hard as you'd think. Get to it

You will be glad you did

To be loved 100% as you are with the excitement to watch you grow is like having your own cheer squad

True comfortability comes with having the right circle. True friends who except you for all that you are and love you anyway. The ones that make life a dance. They may laugh at/with you at times, but they will be picking you up while doing it.

It's about quality not quantity.

Find those you truly belong to. Blood is not thicker than resonance. One can lend respect and regard to blood, and yet also give love where it is returned. Thriving requires it. As I quoted Charles Simic, the poet, later in this piece: He who cannot howl, will not find his pack.

Expectations

At work one week, a co-worker said upon me replying to my boss the following:

"You know one of these days he's gonna sound less forgiving or nice"

"I'm waiting for it"

I didn't take anything from this and it was all in good fun, because my latest line of work tends to ask a lot of us on any given day...but still I press on. No one wants to get fired, right? To be clear, I mostly like my current line of work but here's the issue. The joke (or maybe they do want to see me break one day) is the other side of the coin. What it looks like when you do lose your patience. When you don't is the expectation. In the middle is a potential realization. Am I just being taken for granted?

Unfortunately, I don't always succeed at this expectation. I've unleashed hell in the way my Dad would at times. It feels bad to say this knowing over time, Dad and I grew to understand one another, but fresh in my mind are times that weren't so great. Times where simply voicing logic and reason went out the window. Where proving what the energy efficient temperature for the A/C is with hard evidence, and still being told nope, you're wrong. Maybe I presented "my facts" or "fake news" so therefore I wasn't considered. Really thought real evidence would solve the problem. Proof. Something you also need in a principals office to get out of trouble, but you can't prove things done or said to you without video evidence or a recording. They were never gonna believe you because the other person is much better at explaining themselves. They lie for a living. Principal's office is home. It's a place or panic for you. If after days, weeks, or months you then react, you're still at fault? Well...yes...and I struggle with that. I don't want revenge at the core but I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to dish it back when someone want to talk smack on a small level or yell at a higher one.

Trying to develop boundaries later in life is hard. You don't want to disappoint because you don't want the problems. The having to constantly defend your yourself. Just make everyone happy. If we take trauma out of it, what's simply wrong with making people happy other than to a jealous person? Putting a smile on ones face is always worth it. The problem with these expectations are they aren't realistic and they are all over our lives. You need a degree to do an entry level job. You need to be better than your parents because they realize they messed up somewhere, and you need to correct that. You need to suppress your feelings so you can dedicate yourself entirely to emotional leeches. You need to not let money control your life when literally everything revolves around it...and we as a country are closing off freedom ramps for digital currencies as we speak, while continuing to buy it up behind the scenes, to control it. How can any one person possibly meets the expectations of the world, let alone a single individual. It's impossible. So where do you go from here? There's always burn the bridge or let them down gently.

The above are certainly options. What if you care? Is there another way? Things aren't always black and white. We can't assume everyone functions on the same level. I'm blessed by a family that mostly loves me, although we rarely talk, and enough learned to keep life in order to not be homeless. My traumas on a scale, aren't much. I've suffered more trauma through failed friendships/relationships than my childhood. My lesser than traumas doesn't make them invisible. I just don't want to let them bleed into daily life. Comparing life situations sometimes misses the mark, especially if whoever you are speaking with has their own set of traumas, mental issues, or even just life kicking you in the pants. You can kiss and make up and try again and that's all dandy but patterns are what last. If it isn't the norm for someone to just attack you, maybe it is worth a second look. I've been on both sides of the fence here, but repeated attempts at apologies to repeat the same thing? That's not the ideal scenario. A scenario is which at worst you can agree to disagree, a safe space to express, and healthy measures of filling missing voids or releasing anger (probably not at whoever you are talking to) in a way that makes you productive and helps yourself. Pulls you back. Stop the top from spinning, it's okay.

Nobody likes forced plans, playing by the rules to get screwed over, being yelled at, or even just minor inconveniences. It's a huge weight to carry when expected to just push through all of it. That the expectation. You're not gonna bat 100% at this. No one will. The issue is trying to create the environment to thrive as often as possible. Finding someone to vent to if needed. Being in a growth mindset. In a world asking for so much how do you make time for you...and not just to do whatever is distracting you from life. To just sit and think and process. We all, myself included, from time to time, need to slow down. If anything should be the expectation in life, it should be that. Not the hidden ones laid down by people confronted on a daily basis for life obligations. Stability. Consistency. Can't always rush life in the face and see what happens...and I finally thing to say this at the end of the post, where the rest can seem like a dark but truthful tale.

When making these, I attempt to accomplish a few things. Letting it out is the biggest thing. Someone seeing the vulnerabilities in a post and/or inspiration to take action. A reminder that yes you can, even with the odds stacked against you. Speaking of which, whoever you are, the world isn't against you and if you think that, pretend it is against us all. What are you doing to fight against it? Need help? Gather a party who will bring you up.

The only one who should be making expectations that I hope you meet is you. In us wanting life to be as easy as possible and stress free, we can lose the plot of our own stories or place that burden on others. I suck at reaching out but I know I can and have done this to others before. I'm sorry. I've been rediscovering myself for a longer time than I'd like and need to process how to best that best version and less of a mess. Point stands however, set your own goals/expectations.
