Yesterday, I hit an emotional peak.
I woke up before sunrise to take part in a beautiful ceremony filled with prayers and traditions that carry deep meaning.
At the same time, it was the first day of peace in my country after two long years of war and darkness. I felt an elevated spiritual light surrounding me — as if healing was finally flowing through my nation’s veins, and mine.
But as I let that blissful light hold me, I was unguarded.
In that sacred space — where everyone shared the same energy and intention (you know that collective feeling you get at Burning Man, a concert, or even a football match?) — I wasn’t expecting resistance. Yet there she was.
Someone who not only didn’t share the tradition but openly criticized me and my people entered that space, at that exact time. With my guard down, I was pulled into a wave of judgment and hostility I didn’t see coming.
It felt as though someone had shattered my utopian bubble all at once, leaving me shaken and confused.
Later, as I sat with it, I couldn’t help but wonder: why did she appear in my reality at this exact moment?
Maybe it’s a reminder — that even when we’re open, loving, and expansive, we still need awareness. Not everyone carries the same intention.
Let yourself fly high – just remember, there are eagles in the sky
Thankfully, later that day, I had a chance to return to myself — a short meditation, a few deep breaths, music gently guiding me back to clarity.
And in that calm, I realized something: perhaps this was preparation for what’s ahead. When I publish my book Breaking Cages and share my truth more widely, there will be light — but there may also be criticism. My work now is to stay centered, to not let others shake me so easily.
It was a lesson, for sure, and I’m still learning from it.
I wonder — what is your take on this? Maybe you can see something I’m still missing?
If my words found you at the right moment, maybe you’ll find something more waiting in my Substack.
